A nurse is planning to provide discharge teaching to a client who speaks a different language than the nurse. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?

A. Consider gender and age when selecting an interpreter Cultural preferences may influence comfort and communication. For example, a client may feel more comfortable speaking with an interpreter of the same gender or age group. B. Direct comments and questions to the interpreter The nurse should speak directly to the client, not the interpreter, to maintain engagement and respect. C. Speak to the client in a loud voice Speaking louder does not improve comprehension and may come off as disrespectful. Clear, slow speech is more effective. D. Ask a member of the client's family to serve as an interpreter Family members may omit or alter information and are not trained in medical terminology or confidentiality laws. A professional medical interpreter should be used.
