A nurse is conducting a health education session at a busy basic health unit. Several people are talking outside the room and clients cannot hear the nurse clearly. What is the priority action?
Correct answer: B. Move the session to a quieter suitable area
- A. Continue speaking loudly throughout the session
- B. Move the session to a quieter suitable area
- C. Give the clients additional written information
- D. Ask the clients to repeat the whole session later
Explanation
The immediate problem is environmental noise, which blocks the communication process. Moving to a quiet area improves message reception before additional teaching or written material is used.
