In the 2nd quarter, there is a competency regarding the management of a px with reduced vison. Could you please elaborate on what this entails?

many thanks

Pretty much what it says on the tin: it requires you to demonstrate that you can adapt your assessment strategies to reflect the degree of visual impairment of a patient, your assessor would expect to see at least 1 adult visually impaired patient's case record where you have demonstrated adjustments to your routine and understanding of the issues surrounding investigation and management of a VIP.
