NCLEX PN Practice Questions Practice Question
A hearing-impaired client is becoming withdrawn and depressed. He reports that even with a hearing aid, he is having increased difficulty hearing. Which suggestion is least likely to be helpful?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: A hearing guide dog is least likely to be helpful for a hearing-impaired client. While guide dogs assist visually impaired individuals, they do not address hearing loss and would not alleviate the client's communication challenges or social withdrawal.
Joining a social club (B) can provide emotional support and opportunities for interaction, which may help combat feelings of isolation. A telephone TDD (C) is specifically designed for individuals with hearing impairments, facilitating communication with others. Closed-caption TV (D) enhances accessibility to media, allowing the client to engage with content more easily. Each of these options addresses the client's needs more effectively than a hearing guide dog.
