The nurse is evaluating the care received by a client who has a hearing deficit. Which client statement indicates that care has been effective?
A) "I ask others to face me when they talk, as I can hear them better."
B) "I hear better when the television volume is raised."
C) "I will change the battery in my hearing aid once a month."
D) "I might use the hearing aid when I go shopping."
Answer: A
Evidence that the care provided to a client with a hearing deficit has been effective would be the client asking others to face the client when talking, as the client can hear the speaker better. The other responses would indicate that care has not been effective. Hearing aid batteries should be changed every week. Hearing aids should be worn at all times. Raising the television volume is not the ideal way to manage a hearing deficit.
