Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
A quiet area is needed for learning.Before learning anything,patients must be able to pay attention to or concentrate on the information they will learn.Physical discomfort,anxiety,and environmental distractions make it more difficult for a patient to concentrate.It is not appropriate to refer the patient to a handout.Asking the roommate to be considerate is inappropriate because the roommate is distraught.Deferring patient teaching to the home-health nurse is not appropriate.
