Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When communicating with a client that has limited English proficiency the best questions to ask are ones that are in simple language a couple of words, plain simple terms, such as "Are you in pain?" Asking about tiredness and discomfort in the same sentence should be avoided-ask one item at a time and use the term "pain," not discomfort. Asking the client "are you alright" is vague and will elicit a yes or no answer. "You have taken your pills, right?" is accusatory and should be avoided.
