McGraw-Hill Education's Nursing Spanish Visual Phrasebook - Tapa blanda

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 NursingSpanish Visual Phrasebook helps you overcome thisdifficulty 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 Phrasebookworks 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 withpatient assessment.

Just point and flip, and you can close the communication gap between you and your Spanish-speaking patients.
