Language is no barrier to providing your Spanish-speaking patients with the high quality of care they deserve

As a dedicated nurse or nurse practitioner you know that effective communication is key to providing your patients with the high quality of care they deserve. And for healthcare providers working in North America that often entails communicating with Spanish-speaking patients and their families.

A valuable resource for nurses with little or no Spanish-language experience, this book provides you with all the Spanish you need to do your job in a variety of settings.

Convenient, flexible, and complete, McGraw-Hill's Spanish for Nurses features:

• A Comprehensive Course Book--Using sample dialogues, numerous exercises, and more than 200 expert illustrations, the book introduces a vocabulary of 2,500 general and medical terms, builds familiarity with typical medical situations, and develops a greater awareness of Latino culture and its impact on healthcare issues. A bilingual glossary features 1,000 of the most useful medical Spanish terms for easy reference.
• Audio CDs--Featuring a variety of native speakers, the first two CDs contain vocabulary, phrases, and dialogues that reflect a wide range of common medical situations--everything from the first interview to medication instructions and follow-up--while the third zeros in on situations typically encountered in all areas of nursing. An accompanying booklet contains the full scripts and English translations of the dialogues.
