B
Feedback:
To ensure the client's privacy, the nurse should use screens, curtains, and bath blankets in the client's unit. Turning radios and TV sets to a low volume and avoiding conversation in the vicinity of the client at night are steps taken to maintain a noise-free environment in the client's unit. Offering extra blankets to the client protects the client from catching a chill.
