The nurse is caring for a client with suspected retinal detachment. Which of the following manifestations would not be consistent with a diagnosis of retinal detachment?
Correct answer
D

Retinal detachment typically presents with floaters, a curtain-like shadow, and flashes of light due to the retina pulling away from the underlying tissue. Intense pain is not a common symptom, as retinal detachment is usually painless.
