A 50yearold male patient who cannot speak English comes for a general physical exam. You must prepare the patient for the exam, including proper positioning, explain each component of the exam, and assist the physician as necessary. As you read this chapter, consider the following questions:

1			English is the only language you speak. How can you provide adequate explanation?
2			How can you prevent embarrassment when preparing the patient for the exam?
3			During what parts of the exam do you expect to provide assistance for the physician?
