What should you do if a provider keeps speaking in third person? (E.g., "Ask him how
long this has been going on." "Tell her to come back in three weeks.") - answer* First,
adopt an unobtrusive position and cut off eye contact.
* If that does not work, intervene to perform a "role clarification" and remind the provider
to please address the patient/client, not the interpreter.
* If the provider persists, use a hand gesture to direct his/her attention to the
patient/client.
* If these attempts fail, as an absolute LAST RESORT consider interpreting in first
person (but this is not technically accurate and NOT recommended).
* Then mediate outside the session to point out that first person is much faster,
promotes direct communication and trust, and is much easier to interpret.

memory skills to avoid interrupting a complete thought or statement.
What is the purpose of interpreting? - answerTo facilitate communication between 2 or
more parties who do not share a common language.
