Rationale 2: The student nurse is sitting directly beside the client and both of them are facing the translator. The student nurse should across from the client. The translator should sit next to the client.
Rationale 3: The student nurse asks one question at a time. The student nurse should ask one question at a time.
Rationale 4: The student nurse has requested that the client bring his daughter to the interview to translate for him. The student nurse should not request that the client use his daughter as the translator. The student nurse should use language assistive services that health care agencies must provide at all points of contact, during all hours of operation.
Rationale 5: The student nurse states, "Please tell him to void in this specimen container and to use a clean-catch technique when acquiring the urine." The student nurse should avoid using any medical jargon. This may be difficult for the translator to understand and translate well.
