Nursing Care

Nursing Care fi lls a much-needed demand
for a communicative text aimed at mid-elementary
learners of English. Natural language and situations
for language use allow students to practice likely
uses of English in the nursing environment.
A fundamental principle underpinning Nursing
Care is the idea that medical language is
hierachical. Language used between medical
professionals is di fferent from that used between
professionals and patients. Nursing Care
presents medical language at the layman’s level.
Students learn how to discuss nursing topics in a
way that is useful both for their communication with
patients and for their own English language
development.
The twelve units in Nursing Care cover a
wide range of topics, including the decision to
become a nurse, typical nursing duties, common
illnesses, hygiene, and how to deal with foreign
patients.
