    A nurse is planning care for a client who has reduced visual sensory perception. Which of the following interventions should the nurse include in the plan of care?

    Explanation & Rationale

    Rationale: A. Use a loud tone of voice when speaking with the client: Clients with visual impairments do not necessarily have hearing loss. Speaking loudly is unnecessary and may be perceived as disrespectful or startling. Clear, calm, and descriptive communication is more appropriate. B. Rearrange client’s bedside table items frequently: Frequently moving personal items creates confusion and increases the risk of accidents or frustration for a visually impaired client. Consistent item placement enhances safety and independence. C. Guide the client by walking parallel with them: Walking parallel without physical or verbal guidance may not be helpful. It’s more effective to offer the client your arm so they can follow your movement and safely navigate their surroundings. D. Remove objects from client's path to the bathroom: Clearing obstacles from the client's walking path reduces the risk of tripping and falls. This is a key safety intervention for clients with reduced visual sensory perception and promotes independent, safe mobility.
