Communicate more effectively with your Spanish-speaking patients! This pocket-sized guide translates A & P and other healthcare scenarios you encounter everyday into questions that require only “Yes” or “No” responses.

From registration through discharge, it’s the reference you’ll turn to first to deliver high-quality care in any clinical setting.

• An easy-to-reference format groups the clinical questions into three categories.
• Comprehensive history-taking questions for adult, obstetric, pediatric, and geriatric patients.
• Active medical problem questions for chronic, disease-based management.
• Symptom-based questions for reaching a differential diagnosis.
• Spanish pronunciation guidelines appear in the front of the book.
• Multiple translations reflect regional and dialectical differences in usage and spelling.
• Commonly used charts on the inside back cover include the Wong-Baker pain scale and a body outline for indicating pain.
