When conducting the preoperative preparations, the nurse determines that the client with a primary language of Spanish has difficulty understanding English. The surgeon needs to obtain the client's informed consent. The best course for obtaining the client's informed consent is to:

1. Have the client call a family member to act as interpreter.

2. Have the client sign the Spanish surgical consent form.

3. Call the Spanish interpreter to translate the surgeon's explanation of the procedure, risks, and alternatives to obtain the client's consent and to answer the client's questions.

4. Notify the surgical charge nurse of the situation.
