The Michigan Nursing Student Association is encouraging that its constituents contact their legislatures regarding the development of laws that support interpretive services and protocols for language barriers, such as this, in the hospitals. By being aware of an issue like this, it will influence the nursing care of patients and make nurses more alert of what they should, or could do for a patient with a language barrier. The hospital environment is already a vulnerable time so you definitely do not want an event like this to happen to a patient, or family member causing unneeded stress.
