Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
Clients who are non-English speaking or who have difficulty with English require a translator or interpreter. A child is not an appropriate family member to use as a translator, and it would be inappropriate to carry out treatment without any explanation in the client's language. Written instructions are inappropriate and ineffective if the client does not speak English.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
Informing the client of the risks and benefits of a procedure is best described as obtaining informed consent. Informed consent involves the client's right of self-decision. Client privacy is defined as the right to be left alone and free from intrusion or control by the health care providers. Self-determination allows the client to indicate what treatments he would accept or refuse. Acting in a beneficent manner encompasses doing good acts by the nurse.
