A nurse is teaching a client about how to use her new hearing aids. Which of the following statements should the nurse identify as an indication that the client needs further instruction?
Correct answer
A
Rationale
The correct answer is A. Cleaning hearing aids with alcohol wipes can damage them as alcohol is too harsh. The rationale is that the nurse should educate the client to use a gentle cleaning solution recommended by the manufacturer. The other choices are incorrect because: B is a normal occurrence known as feedback and not a cause for concern; C is correct as hairspray can damage hearing aids; D is a reasonable battery replacement schedule.
