隨著全球化的加劇，越來越多會講英語的西方人士涌入中國。相應地，在醫(yī)療工作環(huán)境下，護士會經(jīng)常面對來自不同價值觀、不同信仰、不同宗教、不同生活方式、不同思維方式的患者。同時，越來越多的中國護理工作人員遠赴發(fā)達國家從事護理行業(yè)。這兩種情況都需要護士采用講英語的西方國家的交流方式與病人及其家屬進行交流。因此，護士有必要了解西方國家真實的工作環(huán)境以及護士與病人、護士與同行之間的交流方式。
本教材的編寫根據(jù)現(xiàn)代化職業(yè)教育指導思想，以促進護士職業(yè)行動能力發(fā)展為目標，設計基于護理工作過程的情境式教學模式，以完成臨床護理交流任務為載體，將西方文化背景下的健康與疾病、關懷與實踐、信仰與準則等呈現(xiàn)出來，以培養(yǎng)和提高學生的跨文化護理能力。
《涉外護理英語》是護理專業(yè)學生為提高英語應用能力，培養(yǎng)跨文化護理能力的職業(yè)拓展課程。通過本課程的學習，學生能夠用英語與病人進行有效交流并完成護理任務，懂得與西方病人打交道的交流技巧與原則，掌握與完成任務有關的醫(yī)學詞匯與表達方式，提高跨文化護理能力，以適應涉外護理工作的實踐需要。

Escort the patient to his ward and， if he isn't in great distress， introduce him to his roommate. Then wash your hands， and help him change into a gown or pajamas; if the patient is sharing a room， provide privacy. Itemize all valuables， clothing， and prostheses on the nursing assessment form or in your notes if your hospital doesn't use such a form. Encourage the patient to store valuables or money in the safe， or preferably， to send home along with any medications he may have brought with him. Show the ambulatory patient where the bathroom and closets are located.
Take and record the patient's vital signs， and collect specimens if ordered. Measure his height and weight if possible. If he can't stand， use a chair or bed scale and ask him his height.
Knowing the patient's height and weight is important for planning treatment and diet and for calculating medication and anesthetic dosages.
Show the patient how to use the equipment in his room. Be sure to include the call system， bed controls， TV controls， telephone， and lights.
Explain the routine at your hospital. Mention when to expect meals， vital sign checks， and medications. Review visiting hours and any restrictions.
Take a complete patient history. Include all previous hospitalizations， illnesses and surgeries; current drug therapy and food or drug allergies. Ask the patient to tell you why he came to the facility. Record the answers as the chief complaint. Record any wounds， marks， bruises on the nursing assessment form.
After assessing the patient， inform him of any tests that have been ordered and when they are scheduled. Describe what he should expect.
Before leaving the patient's room， make sure he's comfortable and safe. Adjust his bed， and place the call bell and other equipment （such as water pitch and cup， emesis basin， and facial tissues） within easy reach.
Post patient care reminders （conceming such topics as allergies or special needs） at the patient's bedside to notify coworkers.
Admitting the pediatric patient Your initial goal will be to establish a friendly， trusting relationship with the child and his parents to help relieve fears and anxiety， which can hinder treatment. Remember that a child under age three may fear separation fiom his parents; and an older child may worry about what will happen to him.
Speak directly to the child， and allow him to answer questions before obtaining more information from his parents，
While orienting the parents and child to the units， describe the layout of the room and bathroom， and tell them the location of the playroom， television room， and snack room， if available.
