When entering the room of a client who is blind, the nurse aide should introduce themselves clearly

According to the CDC, approximately 12 million people aged 40 and over in the U.S. have vision impairment. Proper communication is critical to a blind client's safety and comfort, which is why a nurse aide should always announce their presence when entering the room of a client who is blind. This simple act prevents startling the individual and fosters a trusting, respectful relationship, paving the way for effective care.
