The nurse is performing a health assessment interview with a client who does not speak fluent English and has obtained an interpreter. Which action should the nurse implement?

A. Use an interpreter throughout the client's hospitalization. Consistently using an interpreter throughout the client's hospitalization ensures clear communication, improves understanding, and enhances the quality of care. However, this answer does not address the specific context of the health assessment interview.B. Maintain eye contact with client when questions are asked. Maintaining eye contact with the client rather than the interpreter helps build rapport and shows respect and engagement with the client. This practice encourages the client to feel directly involved in the conversation, even though an interpreter is present, fostering a sense of trust and comfort.C. Ask the interpreter to tell the client to write down questions. This option may be less effective if the client has limited literacy or is uncomfortable with writing. Additionally, it adds an unnecessary step that can complicate the communication process.D. Give the interpreter a form that lists the interview questions. Providing the interpreter with a list of questions might help streamline the process but can depersonalize the interaction and reduce the engagement with the client. It is more effective for the nurse to ask questions directly and maintain communication with the client.
