Using conversational pacing is the least therapeutic and appropriate technique of communication. Although this technique facilitates trust and decreases anxiety, it is the least therapeutic when working with a client who knows little English. The nurse may provide education materials written in Spanish or ask a language interpreter to facilitate therapeutic communication. Including a Hispanic member of the health care team may also facilitate the client in meeting her needs.
