UNIT 2
A. Reading Comprehension
Writing Notes
A nurse observes her patient carefully. She observes what happens to him and what treatment
the doctors give him. She gives information about the patient’s health to other members or
medical staff. Sometimes she must write down information about the patient. When she does
this, it must be easy for other nurses and doctors to read it quickly. For this reason, she must use
clear handwriting and write brief notes.
Some words can be shortened. She can write ‘pt’, instead of patient, and ’c/o’ instead of ‘
complains of’ . Here are some examples of how to write information down briefly. Instead of the
patient was sitting in a chair, a nurse can write ‘pt in chair’. If she gives a patient some water to
drink, but she says ‘don’t want it’, she writes ‘ pt refused water’. If a patient has been vomiting a
lot, but then he drinks some water and does not vomit, she writes ‘ pt tolerated water’.

Exercise B
In the case of a short-term illness, the room will often be the sick person’s own and
arrange in a way he or she has chosen. There may ne quite a lot you can do to make the room
cheerful: one easy way to do this is to add flowers and pot plants. There is no need to create
extra work for your self by removing them at night, as there is no truth in the old believe that
they use up precious oxygen.
In the case of the chronically ill, the invalid may be confined to the sickroom for some
years and it is essential that it is furnished in as imaginative and inspiring a way as possible,
while retaining a restful and pleasant atmosphere. Books, newspaper and magazines help to pass
the time and, along with television and radio, provide entertainment for the sick person, as well
as encouraging an active interest in the outside world. However attractive the immediate
surroundings, visiting friends and relatives will provide a welcome change and providing
comfortable chairs will encourage them to stay and talk. Personal belongings, such as
photographs of children and grandchildren, are comforting and familiar and a constant reminder
of those who are dear to the invalid. A clock will help the sick person to keep track of time, and
a small hand bell by the bed is important so that he or she can call for help. A good bedside light
is also essential.
