ANS: 2
The client's bleeding requires immediate attention; thus it is more important to call a gynecologist than a psychiatrist. A client who wears a burka would be more comfortable being examined by a woman, and undoubtedly the husband would prefer this option also. The husband's culture will require that he remain in the room with his wife while she is attended by strangers. Option 4: an interpreter would be necessary only if the nurse determined that the one or both parties did not comprehend English.
