随着全球化的加剧，越来越多会讲英语的西方人士涌入中国。相应地，在医疗工作环境下，护士会经常面对来自不同价值观、不同信仰、不同宗教、不同生活方式、不同思维方式的患者。同时，越来越多的中国护理工作人员远赴发达国家从事护理行业。这两种情况都需要护士采用讲英语的西方国家的交流方式与病人及其家属进行交流。因此，护士有必要了解西方国家真实的工作环境以及护士与病人、护士与同行之间的交流方式。
本教材的编写根据现代化职业教育指导思想，以促进护士职业行动能力发展为目标，设计基于护理工作过程的情境式教学模式，以完成临床护理交流任务为载体，将西方文化背景下的健康与疾病、关怀与实践、信仰与准则等呈现出来，以培养和提高学生的跨文化护理能力。

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.
