Question 5 of 5
A nurse wants to engage an interpreter for a severely anxious 21-year-old male who immigrated to the United States two years ago. Of the four interpreters below who are available and fluent in the patients language,which one should the nurse call?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: A professional interpreter will be most effective because he/she will be able to interpret both language and culture. When an interpreter is engaged, the interpreter should be matched to the patient as closely as possible in gender, age, social status, and religion. Interpreters should not be relatives or friends of the patient. The stigma of mental illness may prevent the openness needed during the encounter.
