Okay, two pages if you count this side. Our goals include simplicity, phrases seeking actions or yes/no responses, and emphasis on whats most useful prior to interpreter arrival. Loosely divided into 5 sections: registration, triage, Hx, PE, Rx. Try
starting with Pronunciation and the boldface words; you might highlight phrases youd use the most.
This guide does not replace an interpreter. It was prepared to help you say hello and get an idea of whats going on before
an interpreter arrives. Further, a patient may speak some English and be embarrassed to request oneBetter to assume
your patient needs an interpreter.
