English Communication for Nusing
English Communication for Nursing is an eight-unit book designed
to equip nurses who wish to communicate effectively with English
speaking patients. This book provides learners with an essential
foundation of language for communicating in the health-care
setting. The book features helpful vocabulary and expressions,
realistic patient-nurse dialogs that simulate hospital interactions,
cultural tips, practice activities, and samples of important forms that
patients may encounter in the hospital. The book exposes learners to
the necessary vocabulary for nursing, without overwhelming them.
Each unit focuses on a different aspect of medical care, including
checking in to a hospital, surgery, medications, pain management,
pediatrics, orthopedics, gastroenterology, and cardiology. An
appendix provides additional language with dialogs between co
workers within the hospital setting.
The book can be used as stand-alone material, or it can be used
with a series of online videos that will enhance listening skills.
English Communication for Nursing will guide learners in building the
confidence to speak in English with patients and will assist them in
developing their overall communication skills.
