    HESI LPN EXIT TEST 11 PROCTORED EXAM

    An older client is fitted with a hearing aid and instructions are provided for its use. Which instruction is accurate and should be reinforced by the practical nurse (PN)?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Keep the hearing aid out of direct sunlight. - This instruction is accurate as exposure to direct sunlight can potentially damage the hearing aid components, such as the battery or delicate electronic parts. B. Wear the hearing aid while sleeping. - It's generally advised to remove hearing aids before sleeping to allow the ears to rest and prevent potential damage to the device. C. Clean the hearing aid with baby oil. - Baby oil can damage the hearing aid and should not be used for cleaning. Specific cleaning solutions recommended by the manufacturer should be used. D. Leave the hearing aid in place while showering. - Water exposure can damage the hearing aid, so it's advisable to remove it before showering or bathing.
