Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Normal changes with aging make it more difficult for older patients to filter out unwanted sounds,so a quiet environment should be used for teaching. Loss of sensitivity for high-pitched tones is lost with presbycusis. Because the patient has mild presbycusis,the nurse should use both discussion and handouts. There is no need to wait until family members have left to provide patient teaching.
