Back to Exams

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: In the context of visual acuity, a measurement of 20/30 indicates that a person can see at 20 feet what a person with normal vision can see at 30 feet. Therefore, option A accurately describes this relationship.

Option B is incorrect as it reverses the comparison, suggesting the client can see better than a person with normal vision. Option C is misleading; the client does not read the entire chart from 30 feet, as their vision is limited to what is specified by the 20/30 measurement. Option D inaccurately implies different visual capabilities for each eye, which is not relevant to the 20/30 measurement given.
