Accessing brochures and pamphlets that are written in the patient's native language is the most appropriate choice as it provides written material that the patient can refer to at home. This allows the patient to review the information at their own pace and ensures that the information is accurate and reliable. Having the interpreter write the information down or asking the patient's family to take notes may not be reliable or complete. Telling the patient to Google the information after discharge is not appropriate as it assumes the patient has access to the internet and may not be able to discern reliable sources of information.
