Which situation will cause the nurse to intervene and follow up on the unregulated care provider's behaviour?

A) The unregulated care provider is calling the older patient "honey."
B) The unregulated care provider is facing the older patient when talking.
C) The unregulated care provider cleans the older patient's glasses.
D) The unregulated care provider allows time for the older patient to respond.

Health care providers should communicate with older persons on an adult level and avoid patronizing or speaking in a condescending manner.Terms of endearment such as "honey," "dear," "grandma," or "sweetheart" should be avoided.Facing an older patient,making sure the older person has clean glasses,and allowing time to respond facilitate communication with older patients and should be encouraged,not stopped.
