The client who has expressive aphasia is having difficulty communicating with the nurse. Which action by the nurse would be most helpful?
Correct answer
D
Rationale
Having the client face the nurse will not aid the client in expressing his or her needs. The nurseÔÇÖs slow enunciation of directions will not aid the client in expressing his or her needs. Using gestures and body language will not aid the client in expressing his or her needs. Asking the client to point to needed objects would be most helpful when the client is having difficulty communicating with the nurse.
