The nurse educates the older adult regarding a new diagnosis of diabetes mellitus. Which of the

with font size 16
Feedback:
Original handmade aids suited for the individual's unique needs may have a value equal to or
greater than commercially prepared ones. Audio recording is of little benefit to the older person
with a hearing problem. A computer presentation may overwhelm the older learner. The print on
a commercial pamphlet may appear minute to older eyes.
