Questions: The nurse is caring for a client who is a recent immigrant from Cl interpreter, the client expresses an unwillingness to eat the fried tray, describing it as "too hot." What is the nurse's best action? Ask the interpreter to ask the client's family to bring a favorite food from home. Ask the interpreter to ask the client to leave the food in the fridge for a few minutes before Ask the interpreter to ask the client about the specific meaning of the description of "hot." Ask the interpreter to suggest culturally appropriate foods for the client.

The answer is: Ask the interpreter to ask the client about the specific meaning of the description of "hot."

While this option could eventually be helpful, it does not address the immediate issue of understanding what the client means by "too hot." It is important to first clarify the client's needs and preferences before taking further action.

This option assumes that "hot" refers to temperature, which may not be the case. Without understanding the client's specific meaning, this suggestion might not resolve the issue.

This is the best option because it seeks to understand the client's perspective and cultural context. "Hot" could refer to temperature, spiciness, or even a cultural or religious dietary restriction. Clarifying this will help the nurse provide appropriate care.

While this could be a useful step after understanding the client's needs, it is premature without first clarifying what "hot" means to the client.
