If an interpretation error is discovered during a session, what is the recommended action?

• A. Ignore it and continue.
• B. Briefly acknowledge and correct, provide the correct rendering, continue, and discuss with supervisor later; document for quality improvement.
• C. Stop the session and restart.
• D. Blame the speaker.

Answer: (B)

When an interpretation error is discovered during a session, respond with a brief acknowledgement and provide the correct rendering, then continue. This keeps the communication accurate and the flow of the session intact, while showing accountability and respect for all participants. Later, discuss the incident with a supervisor and document it for quality improvement to support learning and ongoing professional development. Ignoring the error or stopping the session would compromise accuracy or disrupt the conversation, and blaming the speaker is inappropriate in professional practice.
