Where would nurse Kristine place the call light for a male client with a right-sided brain attack and left homonymous hemianopsia?

  

     A. On the client’s right side

     B. On the client’s left side

     C. Directly in front of the client

     D. Where the client like

    

    

Correct Answer: A. On the client’s right side

---

The client has left visual field blindness. The client will see only from the right side. Homonymous hemianopsia is a condition in which a person sees only one side?right or left?of the visual world of each eye. The person may not be aware that the vision loss is happening in both eyes, not just one. An injury to the right part of the brain produces loss of the left side of the visual world of each eye.

Option B: The client would not be able to see the call light on his right side because he can only see the left side.

Option C: Only the right half of the visual world can be seen by the client.

Option D: The most ideal place to put the call light is on the client’s right side to avoid any injuries.
