A) Teach the client basic reading and writing.
B) Use verbal and visual presentation modes.
C) Keep the teaching sessions short.
D) Involve the client in an active way.
B
Feedback:
Using verbal and visual modes of instruction is most appropriate for a client who is unable to read or write. Teaching the client how to read and write is not within the scope of nurses' responsibilities. Keeping the session short and involving the client in an active way will not meet the special needs of the client who is unable to read or write.
