A nurse is teaching a client who speaks a different language than the nurse about medications. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct answer
C
Rationale
The correct answer is C. Providing the client with written information in their spoken language is essential for effective communication and understanding. This ensures clarity and accuracy in conveying information about medications. Speaking slowly (choice A) may not address the language barrier effectively. Using medical terminology (choice B) may confuse the client. Having the client's family member interpret (choice D) can lead to potential miscommunication and breaches confidentiality.
