Project Summary: A nurse working in a physician office is helping the physician to explain a medical diagnosis and proposed treatment plan to a middle-aged woman who speaks no English. The woman's daughter is attempting to translate this conversation. The patient has metastasized lung cancer. The prognosis is not good. The nurse notices a pronounced hesitation in the daughter's translation of this news to her mother. She suspects the daughter has not relayed the information correctly because the mother does not seem disturbed by the news. What would you do in this situation? Since informed consent for the treatment must be obtained, would you rely on the daughter's ability to translate? Explain the ethical issues involved in this situation.
