Answer to Question 1

Ans: C
The client is having a problem forming words and has a nasal tone due to a nerve involvement that controls speech. For effective communication, the nurse should repeat and verify whatever the client says. The nurse should ask those questions which can be answered in a yes or no form. Lengthy discussions may tire the client. Encouraging the client to speak quickly is inappropriate. Nodding continuously when the client is talking would not facilitate an effective communication strategy.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
For clients who are visually impaired, the nurse should acknowledge his or her presence in the client's room, identify self by name, speak in a normal tone of voice, explain the reason for touching the client before doing so, and indicate to the client when the conversation has ended and when leaving the room.
