Since not working as a team could hurt the interpretation, I feel the best solution would be to tell the interpreter that as the "on" interpreter I do the need the support when I am in the hot seat. For the short term, this would be best because I will get what I need. For the long term, this would be best because this interpreter would perhaps understand that we all need to work as a team when she works with other terps. In my ten years as an interpreter, direct approach with someone
for scenerio number one, the problem is that my team and I are in disagreement about how to work together. This is going against CPC respecting your colleague and the consumer. The people who are most affected in this situation are the deaf client, the two working and interpreters, and possibly future interpreters working with this interpreter. The other team mate is trying to work out a system to work together. The other interpreter is wanting to do things on their own.
If it were the daughter asking for the auditory information on her mother's end of the line, that would, I think, be a reasonable request of interpreting services. I think this information could be conveyed without providing personal opinions (2.5), and I think it could be done professionally: "There are several people sitting in the background passing a joint" or "The background is just a blank wall - I can't see anything other than your daughter".
For the second scenerio: I don't have any experience with VRS interpreting, so I don't know if there are any policies regarding this issue...but I think that under the cpc 2.3, it would be within the scope of my role as an interpreter to give her the visual information that she is missing because she doesn't have a vp (rendering the message faithfully).
I would also write down in my notebook any possible message skews that could have been prevented had the team accepted any feeds. After the assignment I would speak with my team in private such as tenet 5.3 states And inform them politely I had attempted to feed them to prevent the message skews.
1st Scenario. The conflict is that the team does not want accept any feeds. According to CPC tenet on Professionalism 2.4 says that we should request support from our teams when needed to fully convey the message. As well as tenet 5.2 Work coopertaively with team members. The assignment is a medical assignment that might have technical and complicated concepts. If I'm noticing the message is becoming skewed I would feed the interpreter as needed as professional and courteous as possible...
Thank you for these scenarios, it would be awesome to see more posted. Especially scenarios pertaining to the RID standard practice papers on the RID website! Thanks again!!!
I do have the book and it has been a wonderful study tool, it just helps seeing it in sign too if that makes sense. I've taken a webshop and have been studying with coworkers. Thanks again!
These are great!!! I'm preparing for my NIC interview and wanted more than just the few that the NIC Practice DVD has to offer. Thank you so much for doing these!
Go buy "Encounters With Reality" by Brenda E. Cartwright. It gives many, many examples of CPC conflicts and solutions which are very similar to the questions asked in the NIC interview. Good luck!
You are welcome...do get the book the other person posted. Also get with a study group which will help you to hear how others respond. Keep practicing and good luck for when you take the test.
Aren't the last two exactly the same? or am I missing something?

is not always comfortable but necessary. This is also my policy at work. At roundtable discussions, we have discussed this very topic. End to answer.

the second scenario... is obvious. you are the interpreter and that's it!!!!
it's not your job to tell the mother that info.
that's not the interpreters business to tell ...period!!
