Patient: Ok.

Nurse: You feel a bit warm. Let’s measure your body temperature, shall we? 

Patient: Sure.

Nurse: Here, put the thermometer under your armpit please.

Patient: Okay.

A minute later…
Patient: So, how is it?

Nurse: Your temperature is 37 Celcius. You have a bit of fever, but you don’t
have to be worried about it. It is normal to have a slight fever after a
surgery like yours. 

Patient: I’m glad to hear that.

Nurse: I think I will check your blood pressure as well. 

Patient: Why? Is there something wrong? 

Nurse: No, don’t worry. You are in good hands. Now would you please hold
out your arm so that I can wrap this cuff around it to read your blood
pressure? 

Patient: Ok.

Nurse: Your blood pressure is 110/75. It’s normal. 

Patient: That’s great. Thank you.

Nurse : And next, I have to check your pulse and respiratory rate as well.
May I touch you wrist for a moment? You can relax.

Patient : Okay, here.

Nurse : Alright, I’ve checked it. Your pulse is 66 bpm and your respiratory
rate is 17 bpm.

Patient : Is that normal?

Nurse : Yes, it is normal.

Patient : That’s good. Thank you!

Nurse : Your’re welcome
