question 13 (1 point)
which action is most likely to increase the effectiveness of communication when a patient is having difficulty hearing and understanding the health care professionals spoken instructions?
speak loudly
use pantomime
write the message for the patient to read later
repeat the message several times

Explanation:

• For the first question, in teaching/learning processes (related to education sub - field of Social Science), assessing the learner's motivation (the husband's motivation here) is a fundamental first step as it determines the effectiveness of the subsequent instruction.
• For the second question, gossip is unethical regardless of whether it is done in private or not as it can still spread misinformation and violate privacy.
• For the third question, when a patient has difficulty hearing, writing the message (a form of alternative communication method) allows the patient to refer back to it at their own pace for better understanding compared to just speaking loudly (which may not address hearing issues effectively), using pantomime (limited in conveying complex instructions), or repeating (may still be hard to catch all details if hearing is impaired).

Answer:

• First question: Assess how motivated the husband is to learn.
• Second question: False
• Third question: Write the message for the patient to read later
