A client is brought to the emergency department after being involved in a motor vehicle crash. ...

A client is brought to the emergency department after being involved in a motor vehicle crash. Although the client is conscious, her condition is critical and will require emergency surgery. The client does not speak English. Which action should the nurse take?
1. Read the consent form and have the client sign it anyway.
2. Explain the form to the best of the nurse’s ability using pictures and gestures.
3. Have the hospital interpreter explain the procedure.
4. Proceed with surgery, as implied consent would be the case in this situation.
