Q1 Question 1 of 100
Q1. A nurse is conducting a routine health assessment. An older adult patient with hearing
impairment seems confused during the intake interview and frequently asks the nurse to repeat
questions. What is the most appropriate action for the nurse to take?
A. Advise the patient to drastically change their career path.
B. Ensure the room is well-lit and speak clearly while facing the patient directly.
C. Skip the interview and rely entirely on the medical record for history.
D. Advise the patient to completely ignore their current symptoms.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale:
The correct answer is 'Ensure the room is well-lit and speak clearly while facing the patient directly.'.
Speaking clearly and facing the patient allows for lip reading and visual cues, which are highly effective
for hearing impairment. Shouting distorts the face and voice, making it harder to understand. The
distractors represent either inappropriate interventions for this clinical presentation or approaches that
lack evidence.
