What should the nurse instruct a client about a hearing aid?
1. Do not buy extra batteries.
2. Marking the aid is not necessary when living in a long-term facility.
3. Do not use hair spray when wearing a hearing aid.
4. Use a hair dryer while wearing a hearing aid.
Correct Answer: 3
Rationale 1: Extra batteries are needed to keep on hand because a battery only lasts 1 1/2 to 2 weeks.
Rationale 2: Marking the aid is necessary for a client living in a long-term facility because of the potentially high number of hearing aids.
Rationale 3: Hair spray can clog a hearing aid, and clients are encouraged not to use it when the aid is in use.
Rationale 4: A hair dryer should not be used around the aid as heat can damage the aid.
