    The nurse is assessing a patient's eyes for the accommodation response and would expect to see which normal finding?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Constriction of the pupils is the correct response. When testing for accommodation, the pupils constrict as the patient focuses on a near object, demonstrating normal accommodation. B. Disconjugate movement of the eyes (where the eyes do not move together) is an abnormal finding. The eyes should move symmetrically and conjugately (together). C. Consensual light reflex refers to the pupillary response to light in one eye causing a constriction in both eyes, but this is not part of the accommodation test. D. Dilation of the pupils is the opposite of what should occur during accommodation. The pupils should constrict when focusing on a near object.
