A nurse is caring for a client who has aphasia following a stroke. A family member asks the nurse how she should communicate with the client. Which of the following responses by the nurse is appropriate?
Correct answer

Nonverbal cues like gestures aid communication in aphasia. Child-like statements are demeaning, high-pitched tones are unhelpful, and multiple-choice questions are less general.
