The nurse planning to use an interpreter should listen carefully to what the client says.
The nurse should speak slowly and smile when appropriate. Ask the interpreter to explain exactly what is said, as much as possible, instead of paraphrasing. It is
 preferable to use a trained female interpreter when one is available instead of a male interpreter. The nurse should face the client when speaking, not the interpreter.
