    Hesi RN Exit Proctored Exam

    An older adult client presents to the emergency department with abdominal pain due to constipation. The nurse is providing a list of high-fiber foods to the client that the healthcare provider has recommended. Which action should the nurse implement when reviewing the list of foods?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Background music may be distracting rather than helpful during teaching. B. Adequate lighting is crucial for older adults to clearly see and read instructional materials. However, overhead lights may be distracting and disorienting for an older adult. C. Standing behind the client might actually increase feelings of intimidation or discomfort. It's better to face the client to facilitate communication. D. Providing handouts written at a 12th grade reading level ensures that the information is accessible and understandable for the majority of adults.
