INSTRUCTION
A nurse must be able to
identify the health condition of a patient. Before a thorough treatment is
carried out, a nurse must make a record of the signs and symptoms of the
disease. Accordingly, the recording
skill demands a full knowledge of identifying in which part of the body the
illness is. In this unit you will study
some useful expressions how to ask your patient to do something.
