NCLEX RN Practice Question

A nurse is preparing discharge teaching for an adult client who speaks very little English and shows difficulty understanding spoken instructions. Which intervention will most effectively minimize the communication barrier and promote the client's understanding of the information?

  • Provide written discharge instructions in English that use standard medical terminology.

  • Speak more slowly and loudly, repeating the information until the client nods affirmation.

  • Give the client illustrated discharge instructions that use pictures and simple diagrams related to the care.

  • Ask a bilingual family member to explain all discharge instructions instead of using hospital resources.
