Question

A nurse needs to change a dressing on an abdominal wound for a client who is hearing-impaired and whose speech is difficult to understand. Which of the following is the best approach for the nurse? Write down the steps of the procedure for the client to read before beginning the treatment. Minimize misunderstandings by completing the client's sentences (e.g., fill-in-the-blanks) to decrease the client's embarrassment. Change the dressing while the client is reading the steps of the treatment because distraction decreases anxiety. Use nonverbal signals of agreement (head nodding), even if unsure, to instill confidence and trust.
