Answer to Question 1

Trained medical interpreters have a good understanding of medical and colloquial terminology in both languages, as well as cultural sensitivity to relay concepts and ideas. Using non-professionals can be problematic. They can be reluctant or embarrassed to discuss certain problems in front of close relations, or the non-professional interpreter may decide that certain information is irrelevant or unnecessary and does not provide complete information. Such an interpreter may be unfamiliar with medical terminology and unknowingly make mistakes.

Answer to Question 2

c
