The nurse is testing a patient's visual accommodation. How is accommodation assessed?

A. Visual accommodation is the process by which the eye changes its focus from a distant object to a near one. Pupillary constriction occurs when focusing on a near object, as part of this accommodation response. B. This describes the response to light, not accommodation. C. Involuntary blinking in bright light is related to the blink reflex, not accommodation. D. Pupillary dilation occurs when focusing on a distant object, not during accommodation to a near object.
