Review Question - QID 219886

While working at a busy ambulatory surgical center, you often encounter patients who are not proficient in English. While discussing informed consent with a patient for ACL reconstruction, the in-house interpreter is at lunch and the telephone interpreter service predicts a 20-minute wait. The bedside nurse remarks that they speak the required language and offers to provide interpretation. As you go through the consent process, you realize that your lengthy explanations invoke only short phrases from the interpreter, and the patient offers to sign the consent form. What is the best course of action at this stage?
