LPN ATI fundamental exam ( 53 Questions)
A nurse is reinforcing preoperative teaching with a client who speaks a different language than the nurse. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Ask a family member who speaks the client's primary language to interpret: While involving family members may seem helpful, it is not the most effective way to ensure accurate and complete communication. There may be language barriers or misunderstandings.
Plan a long teaching session initially to introduce the necessary material: Lengthy teaching sessions may overwhelm the client and reduce their ability to absorb and retain information, especially when there is a language barrier.
Provide the least important information first: This approach is not recommended because it does not prioritize the client's understanding of essential preoperative instructions.
Provide handouts written in the client's primary language: Correct. Providing written materials in the client's primary language allows them to review the information at their own pace and increases the likelihood of understanding important preoperative instructions.
