Question 21 • Introduction to Health Science - EL3601 B

Which tips are effective for communicating with older patients? Select all that apply.

Answer
A
Give detailed instructions.
B
Show the patient how to complete instructions.
C
After you ask a question, give the patient a longer wait time for answers and additional questions.
D
Yell at the patient.

Explanation

Demonstrating how to complete instructions can make them easier to understand and follow. Older patients may also need more time to process a question and respond, so allow a longer pause. Yelling is not an appropriate communication strategy; speak clearly and respectfully instead.
