Rationale 1: The nurse can facilitate hospital adaptation of a child who has a hearing loss and can lip-read by obtaining the child's visual attention by lightly touching the child before communicating.
Rationale 2: Picture boards, while useful, should not be the primary means of communication for a child who reads lips.
Rationale 3: Speaking in a loud voice might not promote hearing in the child.
Rationale 4: Speaking to only the parents does not help the child with the hospitalization.
