WHAT IS AN INTERPRETER'S ROLE? - ANSWERS-The
interpreter's role is to be the voice of the client.
TRUE OR FALSE?
It is important to maintain eye contact with the interpreter
at all times so that valuable information is not missed. -
ANSWERS-FALSE.
Talk to the client, not to the interpreter. Maintain eye
contact as appropriate. Looking at the client directly
reinforces that the communication is between the provider
and the client, assisted by the interpreter. This also allows
the provider to assess the non-verbal reactions and
responses.
,A woman arrives at a walk-in clinic with her nine- year-old
son. She does not speak English, but the child is available to
interpret for his mother. The client is clutching her abdomen
and showing what appears to be visible signs of pain. The
child says he is very worried about his mother. - ANSWERS-
While it is often convenient to rely on children to interpret
for their parents, it is important for the nurse to be sensitive
to the needs of the parent and the child. If no other
interpreter is readily available, the nurse will have to work
with the child to do the initial assessment and determine
the severity of the situation. The woman and the son may
feel uncomfortable talking about health issues such as
vaginal discharge, menstruation and pregnancy, thus
compromising the accuracy of the health history. An adult,
preferably female, interpreter should be sought with
urgency to ensure a thorough and comprehensive history.
The nurse also needs to address the child's concerns and
fears appropriately, as well as the stress associated with
having to interpret for his mother. When using family
members as interpreters, the nurse must carefully evaluate
each situation on an ongoing basis.
A nurse is asked to teach a 60-year-old woman of Chinese
descent how to perform self-continuous ambulatory
peritoneal dialysis. The woman has no family, speaks only
Mandarin and lives in a Chinese housing environment. The
,visiting nurse identifies the language barrier and creates a
care plan with the goal of promoting communication. The
client identifies her next-door neighbour as an interpreter
she would be comfortable with. The nurse asks the
neighbour if she is willing to help in this role. The neighbour
agrees, and the nurse reviews with the neighbour the need
to maintain client confidentiality. A written list of visit dates
and times is given to the neighbour, who agrees to be
available for scheduled nursing visits. The care plan
indicates that the nurse will knock at the neighbour's door
at the start of each visit, the neighbour will accompany the
nurse to the client's apartment, and the nurse will use the
inte - ANSWERS-The care planning demonstrates a
thoughtful process, responsive to the client's needs. There is
evidence of the nurse consulting with the client and
supporting the client's choice of an interpreter. The nurse
stresses confidentiality and respects the neighbour's
schedule by providing a list of planned visits.
A couple comes to a walk-in clinic with a young child who is
crying and tugging at his ears. The couple has recently come
to Canada, but understands English well enough that the
nurse feels language is not an issue. An assessment reveals
that the child has an infection in both ears, and the couple is
given a prescription for an antibiotic and Tylenol drops for
fever and pain. The situation is fairly routine, and an
, interpreter is not considered necessary. The parents are
informed about the diagnosis and treatment, and they nod
in understanding. The next day the couple returns with the
child whose condition seems to have worsened. There is
now pink discharge from both ears, and the entire family is
in distress. An interpreter is called to assist. Through the
interpreter, the nurse learns that the parents had the
prescription filled promptly, and they understood the child
was to be given
the medicine every four hours. - ANSWERS-This example
illustrates the importance of confirming that accurate
communication has been achieved. To reduce the chance of
confusion, the nurse could have demonstrated how to
measure, and then administer, both medications. Culturally
appropriate client education materials would also have
been helpful.
A woman, 35, is admitted to the general medical unit. While
in the hospital, she expresses concern about her partner's
ability to care for her children. She also appears worried
about how she will manage at home after she is discharged.
The nurse suggests that perhaps a family meeting is
necessary and offers to contact her husband. The nurse
further suggests that maybe the client's mother, who has
called often to inquire about her daughter, should be
involved in the meeting. - ANSWERS-The nurse has made an
