Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a patient who has impaired speech. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Allow extra time to communicate with the patient. This is the best action because patients with impaired speech may need more time to express themselves. By allowing extra time, the nurse shows patience and understanding, which can help the patient feel more comfortable and supported. Finishing sentences for the patient (
B) can be disrespectful and may not accurately convey the patient's intended message. Asking open-ended questions (
C) can be helpful in encouraging the patient to express themselves, but giving extra time is more crucial. Avoiding visual aids for communication (
