She is alert, oriented, and cooperative but speaks only Spanish; her adult children interpret for her when they are present. The nurse plans the most effective way to communicate with this patient is to:

A) communicate with the patient when the children are present and can translate.
B) arrange to have one of the children present at all times.
C) create a translation guide with commonly used Spanish and English words and phrases.
D) call on the facility translator for every interaction with the resident.
