Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The information that the patient has a hearing impairment indicates that the nurse should use written and verbal materials in teaching along with other strategies. The patient does not indicate a lack of motivation or an inability to understand new information. The patient's decreased hearing does not necessarily imply that the family must be included in the teaching process.
