4. The client from the sub-Sahara

Rationale:
Trachoma, a chronic form of conjunctivitis, is endemic in the sub-Saharan region in Africa, the Middle-East, and parts of Asia. It can eventually cause blindness, so the nurse would be most concerned about this client. None of the other clients live in areas where the disease is endemic.
