Review authorized lab reports, translated wording, and patient-facing explanations with the source, context, and next decision in view.

For authorized work involving authorized lab reports, translated wording, and patient-facing explanations, prepare a plain-language translation draft from a supplied lab report for clinical staff to review. A mistranslated result, unit, or reference range can affect care, and lab reports contain sensitive health information. Confirm patient authorization, minimize access and retention, compare every value with the source, preserve uncertainty, and require a qualified clinician or translator to approve delivery; do not present the draft as a diagnosis. Explain information use and retention, obtain required consent, respect source and reuse rights, verify important details, and keep external or consequential actions under human approval.
