    A nurse is caring for a client who has Meniere's disease. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Use large-print books: Meniere’s disease primarily affects balance and hearing. Large-print books are not specifically necessary for managing Meniere’s disease, although they may benefit clients with vision impairment. B. Avoid standing on chairs or ladders: Meniere's disease can cause vertigo, which increases the risk of falls. The nurse should advise the client to avoid activities that could lead to falls, such as standing on chairs or ladders, especially during episodes of vertigo. C. Stay away from flickering lights: Flickering lights may trigger migraines or seizures in some individuals but are not specifically related to Meniere’s disease, avoiding flickering lights is not a primary focus for managing the disease. D. Minimize unnecessary room changes: While minimizing sudden movements or changes in the environment can be helpful for maintaining balance, "minimizing unnecessary room changes" is not a key instruction for managing Meniere's disease.
