Question 2
A 24-year-old Korean man, visiting family in the United States, became ill and was hospitalized. He was diagnosed with class IV cardiac failure and was placed on strict bed rest because lack of cardiac reserve made him very dyspneic on any exertion.

C.
The nurse should obtain a Korean translator to communicate to the family that the health care team will not allow this behavior to be carried out.
D.
The nurse should obtain a Korean translator who can discuss with the family and client the implications of this type of physical exertion.
