The nurse is testing a patient's visual accommodation. How is accommodation assessed?

A) Pupillary dilation when looking at a distant object
B) Involuntary blinking in the presence of bright light
C) Pupillary constriction when looking at a near object
D) Changes in peripheral vision in response to bright light

Visual Accommodation

The adjustment of the lens of the eye to focus on objects at varying distances.

Pupillary Constriction

The narrowing of the pupils, the central opening of the eyes, often in response to light exposure or during the process of focusing on near objects.

Peripheral Vision

The ability to see objects and movement outside of the direct line of vision.
