A 22-year-old woman who recently emigrated from Laos has been admitted to the hospital with an ovarian cyst.
 
  Both the client and her husband speak Lao exclusively and this has complicated the ability of the care team to obtain informed consent for surgery. What action should the care team take in order to communicate with the client? A) Arrange for a trusted family member to come in to translate.
  B) Organize professional interpretation, either in person or by telephone.
  C) Communicate with the client and her husband nonverbally.
  D) Encourage the client to write out her concerns on paper.

Feedback:
All clients have a right to unencumbered communication with a health provider; consequently, a professional interpreter is necessary. It is insufficient to communicate nonverbally and it is usually inappropriate to have a family member translate. Having the client write her concerns does not resolve this problem.
