Question 1 of 5
A nurse is reviewing the medical record of an older client with presbycusis. Which finding would the nurse expect to note in the client's record?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Presbycusis, a sensorineural hearing loss, is the most common form of hearing loss in older adults. Typically, the loss is bilateral, resulting in difficulty hearing high-pitched tones. The condition is revealed when the client has difficulty hearing whispered words in the voice test and consonants during conversational speech.
Choice A is correct because it reflects the expected finding in presbycusis.
Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because presbycusis does not result in improved hearing ability during conversational speech, unilateral conductive hearing loss, or difficulty hearing low-pitched tones.
