Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 3

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 3

The nurse has the responsibility to seek available resources to ensure the client understands the care and treatment being provided. The types of resources available will vary depending upon the geographical area of the clinic as well as the language spoken and understood by the client. Providing a translation dictionary does not ensure the client has adequate information to understand the plan of care. Translator availability will vary.
