Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The client's symptom of a shadow worsening in one eye may indicate a serious eye condition that requires the attention of an ophthalmologist. The nurse should notify the physician as soon as possible. A and B are not appropriate responses as they do not address the client's possible eye health concerns. D is also not appropriate as it does not address the client's specific symptom of a shadow in one eye.
