How can the nurse ensure culturally competent care?
A 45-year-old Vietnamese woman is in the emergency room with severe abdominal pain. Her teenage sons are with her, ages 14 and 19. The nurse asks if the sons can help interpret to get the history of the illness.
How can the nurse ensure culturally competent care? Was the nurse correct in asking the sons to interpret? What might an institutional policy regarding interpretation and translation recommend?
