Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Knowing the client's preferred method of communication is essential when caring for someone with a hearing impairment. This information can help healthcare providers communicate effectively with the client and ensure they understand their care plan. While knowing how the client lost their hearing may be helpful in understanding their background, allergies and weight are not likely to be related to their hearing impairment.
