Question

What SHOULD the nurse aide do to

communicate with a client who speaks and
understands only another language?
(A) Use gestures
(B) Speak more slowly
(C) Listen and say nothing
(D) Use the services of an interpreter

Answer 1

The nurse aide should use the services of an interpreter to communicate with a client who speaks and understands only another language.

Step-by-step explanation:

When communicating with a client who speaks and understands only another language, the nurse aide should use the services of an interpreter (option D). This ensures accurate and effective communication between the nurse aide and the client. Using gestures (option A) may not convey the intended message clearly, and speaking more slowly (option B) may not be helpful if the client is not familiar with the language being spoken. Listening and saying nothing (option C) does not address the need for communication.
