When I left school I applied to train as a nurse. A training college accepted me and
I started the course two years ago. I am still training and getting experience. I
know that nursing is not right for everyone, but personally I love it.
For the past two months I have been working in a children’s ward. It’s a wonderful
experience and I’m going to specialize in pediatrics as soon as I can. I’m ambitious
and I want to go as high in my chosen career as possible.

Parts of The Body
16
English For The Professional Nurse
ACTIVITY – Task 2
With some patients, such as children, words don’t work very well
to describe intensity, so medics use smiley faces or sometimes colors.
For example, blues mean a mild pain and reds mean severe pain.
Some medics prefer a range of numbers; 0 is no pain and 10 is
unbearable pain.
Pain does not always show where an injury is. Internal organs, for
example, do not have many pain receiving nerve endings, so internal
injuries often cause pain in a different part of the body. This is called
‘referred pain’. One example of referred pain is when someone
suffering a heart attack feels pain in their left
shoulder, arm or hand.

ACTIVITY – Task 3
Signs and symptoms are the tools for making a diagnosis, but
what is the difference between the two?
The signs of an illness are the things that a doctor or nurse can
see and measure. Signs are things like spots and bleeding.
Temperature, heart rate, blood pressure and respiration rate are all
signs because you can measure them.
Symptoms are the things which a patient experiences, but others can’t
always see.
Dizziness and nausea are examples of symptoms.
The symptoms which make a patient seek medical help in the first
place are called the presenting symptoms. Medics describe them in
terms of being either strong, mild or weak. Sometimes the symptoms
of serious illnesses like cancer and diabetes are weak. They stay weak
for a long time and the illness remains undiagnosed.
Many illnesses have the same symptoms. These symptoms are
called non-specific. Fatigue is an example of this. It’s a symptom of
many kinds of illness, both chronic and acute, and of both physical
and mental disorders.
Doctors ask patients about the onset of the symptoms, what they
feel like, what relieves them and what makes them worse. The more
detail they have, the faster they can make a diagnosis.
26
English For The Professional Nurse
he best way to improve patient satisfaction is to use
methods of assessing patients' views over a wide range
of specific issues. Then
the conclusions can be used to work with patients to develop
a service that is of the greatest benefit to those who use the
service, as well as a pleasure to those who provide the
service.
