The most appropriate action by the nurse who is preparing to communicate with an older patient who has hearing loss is:

Stand in front of the patient.
Exaggerate lip movements.
Obtain a sign language interpreter.
Pantomime and write the patient notes.

Explanation

Answer: A - The nurse should stand in front of the patient with hearing loss while trying to communicate with them. By standing in front of the patient and providing adequate lighting, the nurse insures that the patient can see the nurse clearly. If there is still difficulty communicating, then notes and pantomime can be used.
