Since the client has both eyes patched, they may not be able to see who is entering their room. Therefore, identifying oneself each time upon entering the room can help the client feel more comfortable and aware of who is present. Speaking loudly and touching the client unnecessarily can be unsettling, and entering and leaving quietly may not provide the client with enough information about the nurse's presence.
