Management of Care Communicating With Clients Who Speak a Language Different Than the Nurse Nurses have the responsibility of ensuring clients are aware of their rights and protecting those rights while providing care. Regardless of a client’s age, needs, or care setting, the basic client rights remain the same. Clients have the right to be informed about all aspects of their care and participate in the decisions made, to accept, refuse, or change their plan of care, and to receive care that is delivered by competent caregivers who treat them with respect. As a patient advocate, we must ensure they understand what is happening with their care. As an advocate for our patients who speak a different language, we should seek the assistance of an interpreter if the client doesn’t speak the same language as us (the nurse) or another provider. Otherwise, these patients can’t be informed in respect to their care. Planning Care for a Client Following a Stroke Assess ability to swallow and assist with feeding on unaffected side.
