About this book
A patient says Mir ist schwindelig, the chart says Schwindel, and your colleague needs it in the handover. This book gives you the words for all three.
It collects the German you need at work, sorted the way your shift is sorted: by care situation. Twenty chapters take you from your first day on the ward through the body, symptoms, admission, vital signs, personal care, medication, wounds, hygiene and doctor rounds to handover, emergencies, dementia care, relatives and the end of life, and teamwork.
Words, values and phrases are examples for language learning; in real care, always follow your employer's protocols. This book does not guarantee a certificate, a visa, a job or professional recognition.
