The nurse can serve as an advocate by finding or creating materials in the patient's language to ensure culturally competent care. This shows the nurse's commitment to meeting the patient's needs and respecting their culture. Teaching in English or providing materials only in English may not be effective or respectful. Asking the physician to talk with the patient may not address the issue of providing educational materials in the patient's primary language.
