question 24 of 30
you are providing care to a patient who is hearing impaired. the best method for communicating with the patient is to:
ask the patient which ear is their good ear
speak loudly into the patients ear
position yourself directly in front of the patient and speak slowly and clearly in a normal voice
provide paper and pencil for the patient

Explanation:

Asking which ear is 'good' is not the most comprehensive way. Speaking loudly can be uncomfortable. Providing paper - pencil is not always the most efficient initial approach. Positioning directly in front and speaking slowly and clearly in a normal voice allows the patient to read lips and better understand the message.

Answer:

C. Position yourself directly in front of the patient and speak slowly and clearly in a normal voice
