A group of student PHNs are approached by a faculty member who teaches acute care nursing. She informs them that there is a high incidence of chlamydia infection in a local community among Spanish-speaking people. The hospital where she has students wants to do something to reduce the incidence of chlamydia. The faculty member has found a pamphlet online that describes chlamydia infection, how it’s diagnosed, and how it’s treated. She thinks it would be a wonderful idea for the student PHNs to translate the pamphlet into Spanish.
