What this station tests

  • Professional interpretation supports informed care; family can provide a different role.
  • Speak directly to the patient and pause for short interpreted turns.
  • Teach-back checks the explanation rather than testing English proficiency.
  • Document language, interpreter service or ID and the teach-back result.
  • Use a professional interpreter for clinical information; confirm the patient’s chosen role for family.
