What is the most ethically sound immediate response for the medical sign language interpreter?

Politely but firmly explain to the patient and family the ethical guidelines regarding the use of unqualified interpreters, emphasizing the interpreter's role and the potential risks.
Agree to the family member interpreting, but discreetly monitor for accuracy and potential omissions, intervening only if critical information is misrepresented.
Inform the physician about the situation and request their intervention to explain the benefits of using a certified interpreter.

A Deaf patient is discussing sensitive mental health concerns with their psychiatrist. The interpreter, having recently completed "The Complete Medical Interpreter Ethics & HIPAA Compliance Course 2026," understands the stringent requirements of HIPAA and professional confidentiality. A nurse walks into the room without knocking and asks the psychiatrist for a brief update on another patient. The interpreter is in a position to overhear the nurse's query and the psychiatrist's initial response. What is the most appropriate ethical action for the interpreter in this immediate situation?
Continue interpreting the mental health session without acknowledging the nurse's presence, assuming the psychiatrist will handle it.
Politely interrupt the psychiatrist and explain to the nurse that this is a confidential session and they should return later.
Discreetly inform the psychiatrist, once the nurse has left, that their privacy was breached and that the interpreter overheard the conversation.
Briefly pause the interpretation, make eye contact with the nurse, and subtly gesture for them to wait outside until the confidential session is concluded.
