Answer to Question 1

1,2,3,5
Rationale 1: Ongoing planning is done by all nurses who work with the client.

Answer to Question 2

2
Rationale 1: Institutions today have either interpreters on staff or a telephone system with two phones that allow the client and the nurse to talk through an interpreter. Answer option 1 leaves too much room for misinterpretation and frustration on the part of the nurse and the client. Option 3 is not recommended, as a family member might insert feelings or alter the meaning of the teaching and deliver a message that was unintended. Option 4 is incorrect because, as nurses, we must find a way to give effective care to all clients regardless of language barriers.
