The action that requires further teaching when overseeing a nursing student conducting an assessment of a client who does not speak English and no interpreter is available is "Using medical terminology."
While medical terminology is important for effective communication among healthcare professionals, it can be confusing and difficult for individuals who are not familiar with it, especially for clients who do not speak English. To ensure clear and accurate communication, it is essential to use simple and easily understandable language.
By using medical terminology, the nursing student may inadvertently cause misunderstandings or confusion for the client. It is important to teach the student to use plain language, explain terms in a simple manner, and avoid jargon. This will help ensure effective communication and understanding between the student and the client, even in the absence of an interpreter.
