Spanish for Nurses and Physician Assistants

|
Nurses and Physician Assistants, regardless of specialty or work setting, perform basic duties that include treating patients, educating patients and the public about various medical conditions, and providing advice and emotional support to patients’ family members. As Spanish speaking populations increase in the US, demand for the essential functions for Hispanic demographics may increase at a faster rate. Nurses record patients’ medical histories and symptoms, help to perform diagnostic tests and analyze results, operate medical machinery, administer treatment and medications, and help with patient follow-up and rehabilitation. In order to provide quality medical care to all people, learning the Spanish language is an essential skill. |
