diminished peripheral vision affects her patients in which manner?


A. Decreased visual acuity
B. Decreased depth perception
C. Decreased ability to see at night
D. Decreased enjoyment in hobbies requiring fine detail - ANSWER - ANSWER:
B. Decreased depth perception

Diminished peripheral vision leads to decreased depth perception and an increased risk for falls.
Although older adults may experience decreased visual acuity, night vision, and enjoyment in
fine-detail hobbies, these changes are not due to diminished peripheral vision.
