Planning to use an interpreter when presenting information to a group of new immigrants from a non-English-speaking country is the best option among those listed. Pictures will not effectively convey the meanings that the clients need. Guessing about the native language and attempting to speak it will not be effective either, as the nurse should never assume anything, and unless the language is native to the nurse, the nurse will not be any more effective at communicating with the clients. Talking clearly and slowly, being sure to enunciate each word, might be appropriate for a group of immigrants from a non-English-speaking country who have been in this country for a while and have been learning the language.
