摘要：
Understanding disease processes, treatments, and limited English proficiency (LEP) can promote safe and accurate care. To ensure healthcare equity for patients at a large cancer center, perianesthesia nurses and language assistance staff formed a joint task force to improve the care of perioperative patients with LEP, including those with hearing, speech, or visual impairments. By providing staff proper use, oncology nurses can better advocate for patients with LEP, ensure accurate assessments, and foster health equity.
