| Publisher Description: Finally there's a book for health care professionals who don't necessarily have the time or inclination to "learn" Spanish, but need to use Spanish to communicate with their patients. There are over 570 million Spanish speakers across the world and over 55 million Hispanic residents in the US. This book is designed to help doctors, nurses, and medical assistants communicate in Spanish with Latino patients and their families who have little or no command of English. In a very accessible and insightful manner, the book addresses specific patient encounters and offers the language that will provide understanding for both the medical personnel and the patient. It includes chapters on getting to know the patient, request information, make appointments, order medicine, prepare for surgery, a chapter of illustrated anatomy, and a mini-dictionary in both English / Spanish and Spanish / English with over 500 of the most commonly use terms. Being able to learn vocabulary in context is really important and this is where this book proves to be extremely useful. Each chapter contains a number of sentences arranged by specialty with the English, Spanish, and pronunciation of the Spanish phrase.Example;Thank you for talking with me.Gracias por hablar conmigo.gRaaseeyas poR aablaaR konmeegoA set of audio files to accompany this book is available and may be downloaded from our website. These are all recorded by native Spanish speakers and will help you to understand the spoken language.The first part of this book contains a guide to English pronunciation (in Spanish), followed by a guide to Spanish Pronunciation (in English). It is followed by a collection of anatomical illustrations with the body parts identified in both languages. Following the Anatomy section is a collection of chapters by topic.Introduction / Introducci nGuidance / Orientaci nRegistration / RegistroAssessment / Evaluaci nSurgical Consent / Consentimiento Quir rgicoTrauma / TraumaProcedures / ProcedimientosFoley (Catheter) / Sonda de FoleySurgery Instructions / Instrucciones de cirug aPain Interview / Entrevista de dolorMedicine Interview / Entrevista de medicinaOrthopedic / OrtopediaPediatrics / Pediatr aObstetrics Gynecology / Obstetricia Ginecolog aCardiology / Cardiolog aOpthamology / Oftalmolog aNeurology / Neurolog aExam Commands / Comandos de examenCaregiver / CuidadorPost-Op Prognosis / Postoperatorio Pron sticoMedical Conditions / Condiciones m dicasPharmeceutical / Farmac uticoNumbers / N merosDiseases / EnfermedadesSpanish / English DictionaryEspa ol / Ingles Diccionario |
