Book Description

Publication Date: February 1993 | ISBN-10: 0750612592 | ISBN-13: 978-0750612593

One of the problems staff in Accident and Emergency units face is what to do with a patient who does not speak the local language. Although the injuries presenting may be obvious, it is important to obtain a history from the patient so that all factors can be taken into account and treatment modified accordingly. This book asks a series of questions, each of which is numbered and each of which requires only a yes/no answer. These questions are given firstly in English and then in six other languages - German, French, Spanish, Hindi, Russian and Italian.
