The nurse is preparing to assess the visual acuity of a 16-year-old patient. How would the nurse proceed?

A. The Jaeger card is typically used to assess near vision, not visual acuity at a distance, and would be more appropriate for an adult or someone with suspected near-vision issues. B. The Snellen chart is used to assess distance visual acuity, and it is the standard tool for visual acuity testing for both adults and adolescents. The chart should be positioned 20 feet away from the patient to measure their ability to see at a distance. C. Determining the ability to read newsprint is a test for near vision, not visual acuity for distance. D. The confrontation test is a screening for peripheral vision, not for visual acuity.
