A 68-year-old woman in a skilled nursing facility is recovering from a hip fracture repair and continues to smoke cigarettes despite her chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Her health history includes hypertension and type 2 diabetes managed with metformin. The LPN notes the client wears bifocal glasses, has difficulty reading small print, and tells the nurse, "I never finished school, so long pamphlets are hard for me." The client states she is willing to try quitting smoking but does not know where to start. The LPN plans to reinforce smoking-cessation education. Which action should the LPN take?
- Tell her that chewing on cinnamon sticks instead of smoking will curb her nicotine cravings.
- Use large-print materials with simple wording and pictures to explain smoking-cessation steps.
- Provide the standard printed cessation booklet and review it aloud with her in one visit.
- Suggest she search online forums for other residents' personal tips on quitting smoking.
