How can you explain a thallium stress test to a patient?
A thallium stress test is a type of nuclear scanning test or myocardial perfusion imaging test. It shows how well blood flows to the heart muscle. The test is usually done along with an exercise stress test on a treadmill or bicycle. When a patient reaches his or her maximum level of exercise, a small amount of radioactive substance called thallium is injected into the bloodstream. It shows where the heart muscle is not getting a normal blood supply.
Can neosporin be used instead of polysporin?
Yes, the only difference being that Neosporin contains an additional ingredient: Neomycin. While Neomycin is yet another effective anti-infection agent, many are allergic to it. So you must be careful if switching to Neosporin, especially if the patient has never used this before. Yes, the only difference being that Neosporin contains an additional ingredient: Neomycin.

Must you have the patient's permission to enlist an interpreter to explain medical procedures in the patient's native language?
If you can not communicate with the patient how can you first get a permission. Reasonably it should be OK to use an interpreter to explain things to a patient but you would need the patient's permission to involve the interpreter in discussions relating to the patient's medical condition. Presumably the interpreter could assist in obtaing this consent.
