Question

a nurse is caring for a client who has a hearing impairment. which of the following interventions should the nurse use when speaking with the client? speak directly into the clients impaired ear. exaggerate lip movements. speak loudly. face the client when speaking.

Explanation:

Speaking directly into the impaired ear may not improve hearing and can be uncomfortable. Exaggerating lip - movements can distort words. Speaking loudly can be perceived as aggressive and may not help understanding. Facing the client when speaking allows the client to see lip - movements and facial expressions which can aid in communication for those with hearing impairments.

Answer:

D. Face the client when speaking
