Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
When performing a refractive examination for a client, the nurse should place the phoropter in front of the client's eyes. Light from the examiner's retinoscope is streaked across the eye, while the lenses from the phoropter are adjusted until the light streak is neutralized. The phoropter is held close to the client's eyes, not 10 or 20 feet from the client. Placing the phoropter at the sides of the client's eyes will not neutralize the light streak and will not allow for accurate testing.

Answer to Question 2

D
