When a client has limited hearing or visual deficits,it becomes more important for a nurse to use nonverbal communication when establishing nurse-client relationships.Speaking slowly,clearly and in a normal tone may make verbal communication more effective,but it will not have the greatest positive impact of the offered options.Relying heavily on touch is only one form of nonverbal communication that can positively impact the development of the relationship.While involving family in discussions may help in the identification of client needs,it does not necessarily have positive impact on developing a healthy nurse-client relationship.
