Question

A home care client has both visual and hearing deficits. Although all of the following are important, what would be a high priority concern when planning and implementing care?
A)Nutrition
B)Comfort
C)Safety
D)Communication

Answer 1

Answer:

C)Safety

Explanation:

The high priority concern when planning and implementing care for a home care client that has both visual and hearing deficits would be safety concerns.

For a patient who cannot see or hear, it is important that such a person can trust you explicitly to keep him safe because the patient is totally dependent on you. It is extremely important to keep the patient safe by making sure he does not unintentionally harm himself because he is deprived of two very important senses which are sight and hearing.
