Abstract:
As a nurse, you need to be prepared for anything. But what if that anything is a language barrier with your Spanish-speaking patients? McGraw-Hill's Nursing Spanish Visual Phrasebook helps you overcome this difficulty and understand your patients’ needs. With no experience in the language, you can find out the due date of an expectant mother; review a young child's medical history; let an elderly man know you are starting an IV; and reassure a worried parent that an interpreter is on the way. McGraw-Hill's Nursing Spanish Visual Phrasebook works in three easy steps: 1. Point to each question; 2. Patient responds with a simple head nod, with a "yes" or "no" answer, or by pointing to a diagram; 3. Continue using the phrasebook to assist with patient assessment. Just point and flip, and you can close the communication gap between you and your Spanish-speaking patients. -- Provided by publisher.
