What is the appropriate technique to assist visually impaired patients?

  1. Direct them verbally

  2. Place their hand on your arm at the elbow

  3. Provide a magnifying glass

  4. Use hand gestures

The correct answer is: Place their hand on your arm at the elbow

When assisting visually impaired patients, it is important to provide physical support to help guide them effectively and safely. Placing their hand on your arm at the elbow allows you to lead them without causing discomfort or confusion. This technique provides a stable and reliable means of communication, ensuring they can navigate their surroundings with confidence. Other options like verbal directions, providing a magnifying glass, or using hand gestures may not offer the same level of physical support and guidance that holding the patient's hand at the elbow can provide.
