B
If the patient does not speak English or has a severe hearing impairment, the clerk must have access to an interpreter to assist during the admission procedure. Translation services are preferable to using family members to ensure correct translation of medical terminology.
Hand gestures and simple phrases may not be adequate for everything that will be discussed at the time of admission,.
