When educating an older adult patient about changing his dressing, the nurse would most appropriately:
Be certain the patient is wearing his glasses and/or hearing aid. Ensuring the patient has optimal hearing and vision aids can improve comprehension and help the patient accurately learn the procedure.
Wait for the patient to ask any questions about the procedure. Waiting for questions might lead to gaps in understanding, as the patient may not feel comfortable initiating questions without encouragement.
Talk through the process rapidly to keep the patient from becoming tired. Rushing the instruction may cause the patient to miss important details, as learning may be slower in older adults.
Point out each mistake during the return demonstration. Correcting every error without constructive feedback can discourage the patient. It’s more effective to provide gentle guidance and support.
