A nurse is caring for a client who speaks a different language than the nurse and is using an interpreter. Which of the following actions should the nurse take when working with the interpreter?

A. Speak in a normal voice at a natural pace: This allows the interpreter to accurately convey the nurse's message without confusion or misinterpretation. Speaking slowly or loudly is unnecessary and can be perceived as disrespectful. B. Pause in the middle of sentences: Pausing mid-sentence may result in incomplete or confusing information being relayed to the client. C. Direct statements to the interpreter: The nurse should direct communication to the client to maintain engagement and respect. D. Use gestures when speaking with the client: Gestures can be misinterpreted, and relying on them reduces clear verbal communication.
