Informed consent dilemma

Published

Hi,

I'm a student and I'm trying to answer a question:

Husband is translating for wife who is the patient. He is making decisions on her behalf and isn't really translating everything. It's hard to tell what she thinks because she doesn't speak a work of English. How do you proceed in a respectful way?

Thanks!

If this is a school question that you needed to research I hope we didn't make it too easy for you. :nurse:
