A nurse is attempting to obtain information from a child who is hearing impaired. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?

A. Speak slowly while facing the child: Facing the child helps them see lip movements and facial expressions, which aids communication. B. Talk directly into the child's impaired ear: Shouting or talking directly into the ear is unhelpful and can distort sound further. C. Stand above the child's eye level when speaking: Standing above the child can make communication difficult. The nurse should be at eye level to establish effective communication. D. Speak loudly to the child: Speaking loudly can distort sound and is not helpful for a hearing-impaired child.
