Verified step by step guidance

Understand the purpose of each test: The Ishihara test is used for color vision, the Rinne test is for hearing, the Snellen chart is for distance vision, and the Jaeger chart is for near vision.

Identify the specific need: The problem requires assessing near vision, which is different from distance vision or other sensory assessments.

Select the appropriate tool: For near vision assessment, the Jaeger chart is the correct tool. It consists of a series of paragraphs with text of varying sizes.

Explain the procedure: The client should hold the Jaeger chart at a comfortable reading distance, typically about 14 inches from the eyes, and read the smallest line of text they can see clearly.

Interpret the results: Based on the smallest text the client can read, the nurse can determine the client's near vision acuity and identify any potential issues.
