Which actions by Kristine would be least helpful to the client if Kristine is trying to communicate with a client with a brain attack (stroke) and aphasia?
Completing the sentences that the client cannot finish. Client's with aphasia after brain attack (stroke) often fatigue easily and have a short attention span. General guidelines when trying to communicate with the aphasic client include speaking more slowly and allowing adequate response time, listening to and watching attempts to communicate, and trying to put the client at ease with a caring and understanding manner. the nurse would avoid shouting (because the client is not deaf), appearing rushed for a response, and letting family members provide all the responses for the client.
