COMMUNICATIVE GRAMMAR
READING
Read the text about part of a nurse's daily routine. Rewrite the text changing I to he and underline the changes.
I take Obs very often. I always follow the same procedure. First, I weigh the patient and write the weight on the chart. Then I take the patient's temperature. I use a tympanic thermometer. I ask patient to turn his or her head and I have to wait for the beep. Next, I put the blood pressure cuff on and check the patient's blood pressure and pulse. I also clip a lead onto the patient's finger to measure his or her oxygen sats. I count the patient's respiration, and note them down on the chart too. I'm very quick because I do the same thing every day.
