Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Even when a patient appears not to understand, the nurse should explain in very simple terms what is happening. Assisted listening devices are among many tools recommended for communicating with hearing-impaired patients. For these patients, the nurse should speak distinctly without exaggerating words. American Sign Language has been a standard communication tool for many years, however, few care providers were able to use it.
