A medical interpreter who gives the patient her own opinion about the patient's condition is what type of medical interpreter?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A medical interpreter acting as a co-diagnostician steps beyond their role by giving opinions about the patient's condition, which is not within their scope of practice. Their primary role is to facilitate communication between the patient and healthcare provider, not to offer personal medical opinions.
