The nurse is caring for a client with a hearing deficit who will be discharged soon. Which of the following should be included in discharge planning to ensure the home is environmentally safe?
1. Visual fire safety provisions
2. Housekeeping services
3. Sign language classes
4. An interpreter
Visual fire safety provisions
Rationale: It is important to ensure that the home environment is environmentally safe. Since smoke detectors indicate when smoke is present, it is necessary to install a device that alerts the client with a visual signal. Housekeeping services are not a need specific to a client with a hearing deficit. Sign language classes and an interpreter are not factors in making an environment safe.
