You care for Winifred, who has a hearing deficit and wears hearing aids in both ears. The hearing aids have been sent out for repair. She cannot hear much and is having a bad day because of it. Every time you enter her room, she becomes angry and shoos you away. At lunch she cannot talk with her table mates, so she doesn’t eat and leaves the table early. After lunch, you find her in her room crying. What should you do for Winifred? Why is Winifred so upset? How can you help ease Winifred’s emotional state? How can you comfort her when she can’t hear you?
