QOD 068: Adult hearing loss (Management of Care)

A nurse is caring for a client who needs an MRI for a back injury. The client is deaf. The nurse has provided written information for the client but needs to find out if there are any questions. In which way would the nurse most likely act as the client’s advocate?

• Call the radiology department and ask them to explain the procedure
• Call an interpreter to talk to the client
• Mime the actions the client needs to know
• Use a video with closed-captioning that will explain the procedure
