Correct Answer is A

Explanation

A. Legislative branch of government: The legislative branch (e.g., Congress, Senate) is responsible for making laws and passing bills. Lobbying for healthcare funding directly involves the legislative process.

B. Constitutional branch of government: There is no specific constitutional branch of government. The U.S. government consists of the legislative, executive, and judicial branches.

C. Executive branch of government: The executive branch (e.g., the President, state governors) enforces laws but does not make them. The nurse is lobbying lawmakers, not the President.

D. Judicial branch of government: The judicial branch (courts, judges) interprets laws and ensures their constitutionality. It does not pass legislation.

A. Call the local hospital and arrange a referral. B. Attempt communication using an English-Spanish phrase book. C. Emphatically state, "No hablo Español" (I don't speak Spanish). D. Obtain an interpreter to translate.

Correct Answer is D

Explanation

A. Call the local hospital and arrange a referral: A referral does not immediately address the family’s communication needs. The nurse should first attempt to provide care with proper interpretation.

B. Attempt communication using an English-Spanish phrase book: A phrase book is inadequate for complex medical discussions and could lead to miscommunication.

C. Emphatically state, "No hablo Español" (I don't speak Spanish): This response is dismissive and does not help the family receive the care they need.

D. Obtain an interpreter to translate: The best practice is to use a professional interpreter to ensure accurate communication and avoid misunderstandings in medical care.
