hearing loss is:
A. Stand in front of the patient.

Correct Answer: A
Explanation: The nurse should stand in front of the patient with hearing loss while trying to
communicate
with them. By standing in front of the patient and providing adequate lighting, the nurse insures that
the
patient can see the nurse clearly. If there is still difficulty communicating, then notes and pantomime
can
be used.
