1. Which information is most concerning to the nurse when caring for an older client with
bilateral cataracts?
a. States having difficulty with color perception
b. Presents with opacity of the lens upon assessment
c. Complains of seeing a cobweb-type structure in the visual field
d. Reports the need to use a magnifying glass to see small print
Rationale:
Visualization of a cobweb- or hairnet-type structure is a sign of a retinal detachment, which constitutes
