Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Asking the son would violate confidentiality, and gender issues may also arise. The only safe approach is to obtain a Spanish interpreter who is knowledgeable about medical terminology and procedures, as well as comfortable with cultural beliefs and health prac-
tices. It is important to have an interpreter rather than trying to make gestures and pantomine so that the communication between the nurse and client is clear and accurate.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Nurses practicing in correctional settings must respect the right to refuse care even if the result is an adverse outcome.
