The choice of language can depend on the demographic composition of the patient population a nurse is serving. Commonly recommended languages include:
Spanish: Widely spoken in many parts of the United States. Mandarin: Useful in areas with a significant Chinese-speaking population. Arabic: Beneficial in regions with a large Arabic-speaking community. French: Helpful in certain parts of Canada and Africa. American Sign Language (ASL): Vital for communicating with hearing-impaired patients.
