For a patient with right homonymous hemianopsia, where should the therapist recommend placing the call button and cell phone?

Recommending that the call button be placed on the left side and the cell phone on the right side is sensible for a patient who has right homonymous hemianopsia. This condition results in the loss of vision in the right visual field, meaning the patient is unable to see objects that are on their right side. Placing the call button on the left allows the patient, who has functional vision on that side, to easily locate and access it when they need assistance. Conversely, placing the cell phone on the right side, which the patient cannot see, ensures it is out of reach, minimizing the potential confusion or frustration of needing to find it visually. This strategy promotes safety and enhances the patient’s autonomy, allowing them to access necessary communication devices while navigating their visual limitations effectively.
