While teaching a client how to perform a skill, the nurse determines that the client is experiencing sensory overload and is unable to learn effectively.
Which action should the nurse implement?



Correct Answer: C

Sensory overload happens when an individual is getting more input  from their senses than their brain can sort through and process 1. 

Therefore, reducing the stimuli in the area can help the client’s brain  to better process the information being taught.

Choice A is not the answer because demonstrating the skill speaking  slowly and using simple terms does not address the issue of sensory  overload 1. 

Choice B is not the answer because reassuring the client that the skill  is not difficult to learn does not address the issue of sensory overload  1. 

Choice D is not the answer because providing step-by-step written  instruction does not address the issue of sensory overload 1.
