A nurse is caring for a client who has a hearing impairment. When speaking to the client, the nurse should incorporate which of the following communication methods?
Correct answer
B
Rationale
The correct answer is B: Rephrase sentences the client does not understand. This method helps improve clarity and understanding for individuals with hearing impairments. Speaking directly into one ear (A) may not be effective as it can distort sound. Dropping voice volume at the end of sentences (C) may make it difficult for the client to hear the complete message. Exaggerating lip movements (D) is more helpful for individuals with visual impairments, not hearing impairments.
