Correct Answer is C

Explanation

Choice A rationale: A client with nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain may have gastroenteritis, food poisoning, or appendicitis, which are not directly related to the eyes.

Choice B rationale: A client with chest tightness and heartburn may have gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), angina, or myocardial infarction (MI), which are also not associated with the eyes.

Choice C rationale: A client with facial drooping and left-sided weakness may have a stroke, which is a medical emergency that requires immediate attention. An eye examination can help detect signs of stroke, such as pupil asymmetry, visual field defects, or eye movement abnormalities. A stroke can cause permanent brain damage or death if not treated promptly.
