    A nurse is assisting with the care of a client who has hearing loss and has questions regarding their medication. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A nurse is assisting with the care of a client who has hearing loss and has questions regarding their medication. The nurse should choose a room that is well-lit, sit facing the client, speak clearly and slowly, and ask a few questions at a time. Exaggerating lip movement while speaking is not recommended as it can be difficult for the client to read lips accurately. Additionally, sitting on the client's right side may not make a significant difference in their ability to hear.
