Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
The Snellen chart is used to assess vision. Difficulty remembering how to perform familiar tasks indicates the need to further assess mental and cognitive status. Turning the television up louder indicates the need for a hearing assessment. For a patient having trouble saying words a picture board/chart may be used.
