Question 1 of 5

A client with an endotracheal tube gets easily frustrated when trying to communicate personal needs to the nurse. Which method for communication should the nurse determine may be the best for the client?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The client with an endotracheal tube in place cannot speak, so the nurse devises an alternative communication system with the client. The use of a picture or word board is the simplest method of communication because it requires only pointing at the word or object. The family does not need to bear the burden of communicating the client's needs, and they may not understand the client either. The use of hand signals may not be a reliable method because it may not meet all needs, and it is subject to misinterpretation. A pad of paper and a pencil is an acceptable alternative, but it requires more client effort and time.
