Spanish for Wound Care
Description
This free lesson is taken from our recently published member lesson, introducing a new module in our Spanish for Emergencies Course, covering Wound Care.
If a patient presented to the ER with a deep laceration sustained at work, could you do the following in Spanish?
- Ask the patient how they acquired their wound
- Discuss tetanus prophylaxis
- Explain in Spanish as you clean, numb and suture the wound
- Recommend wound care for home
- Discuss the evaluation for foreign bodies in the wound
- Recommend referral to a specialist for removal of a foreign body
- Prescribe an antibiotic to prevent wound infection
We will cover it all in the latest module of our Emergencies Course.
In this first lesson, we review Spanish for different types of superficial wounds, and ask the patient how they were injured.
