A non-English speaking client is needs to have an emergency surgical procedure. The hospital has an interpreter available. When the interpreter arrives to explain the procedure and help with the consent form, the nurse provides the best support when:
 
  1. Asking the interpreter to use words the client is familiar with for the best understanding.
  2. Requesting that the interpreter translate as closely as possible, the same words used by the professional staff.
  3. Suggesting that the questions be directed to the interpreter, so nothing is omitted.
  4. Addressing the questions to the client's family.
