A patient's vision is recorded as 20/30 when the Snellen eye chart is used. The nurse interprets these results to indicate that:

The patient can read at 20 feet what a person with normal vision can read at 30 feet.

The patient can read from 30 feet what a person with normal vision can read from 20 feet.

At 30 feet the patient can read the entire chart.

The patient can read the chart from 20 feet in the left eye and 30-feet in the right eye.

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is A

A. A vision of 20/30 means that the patient can read at 20 feet what a person with normal vision can read at 30 feet, indicating mild visual impairment.

B. This reverses the explanation of 20/30 vision and is incorrect.

C. This option incorrectly describes the Snellen chart results, which measure clarity of vision at specific distances, not entire chart reading ability.

D. This option confuses visual acuity for each eye; Snellen scores do not indicate different distances for each eye.
