ANS: C
With older adults, keep the teaching session short with small amounts of information. Also, if using written material, assess the patient's ability to read and use information that is printed in large type and in a color that contrasts highly with the background (e.g., black 14-point print on matte white paper). Avoid blues and greens because they are more difficult to see. Speak in a low tone of voice (lower tones are easier to hear than higher tones). Directly face the older-adult learner when speaking.
