رجل عمره ٦٦ سنة بعد سكتة في الجهة اليمنى من الدماغ، فقد نصف مجال الرؤية في العينين على الجهة اليسرى (Hemianopia)، ويصطدم بالأشياء على يساره، لكنه يدرك المشكلة. ما التدخل الأنسب؟

A 66-year-old man after a right hemispheric stroke has lost the left half of the visual field in both eyes (hemianopia) and bumps into objects on his left, though he is aware of the problem. What is the most appropriate intervention?

1. Patch the left eye all day
2. Turn the lights off to rest his eyes
3. Place all the food on the left of the plate
4. Teach him to turn his head toward the missing field

Answer: D) Teach him to turn his head toward the missing field. In homonymous hemianopia the client is taught to scan toward the lost field by turning the head; key items start in the intact field and staff approach from that side.
