The client with diabetes comes to the clinic for a regular checkup. The nurse notes that the client states that they have been struggling with blurred vision recently and are having difficulty working because the blurred vision makes it difficult to see the computer screen. The nurse asks the client if they are seeing any spots or floaters, and the client denies those symptoms. The client has had diabetes for many years. Although their diabetes is generally well-controlled, the client occasionally has periods of less control. The nurse completes a vision assessment using the Snellen chart and documents vision at 20/60. The client does not routinely wear glasses or contacts except reading glasses obtained from the local discount store. The client drives independently, and their license was last renewed two years previously at the local Department of Motor Vehicles. •Identify relevant factors related to the individual’s condition.
