Practice Question
A nurse is observing a student perform care for a client with hearing aids in both ears. Which student action should be corrected by the nurse?
Answer Choices:
Correct Answer:
Exaggerating mouth movements when speaking to the client
Rationale:
Exaggerating mouth movements can distort lip reading and make it harder for the client to understand speech. It can also change the natural rhythm of speech, making communication more confusing.
Best practices when communicating with a client who has hearing aids include speaking clearly, at a moderate pace, and facing the client directly so they can see your lips and facial expressions.
