FAECES
READING
In the adult, normal faeces are brown, semi-solid and have a characteristic odour.
Faces consists of indigestible or undigested food, altered bile pigments, water, mucus,
cells from the intestinal tract and bacteria. When observing faeces, the following points
are noted; the frequency of defeacation and whether flatus is passed, the colour and
consistency of the stools, and the presence of any abnormal substances or objects.
Fresh blood in a stool is usually due to bleeding in the lower bowel. Altered blood in a
stool is due to bleeding in the stomach or small intestine and produces dark, tarry stool
– melaena. The absence of bile pigments and the presence of large amounts of fat
produce stools that are putty-coloured and extremely offensive.
Constipation is a condition in which the passing of stools is difficult and infrequent.
Diarrhea is a condition in which frequent loose or liquid stools are passed.
Stomach trouble color colour
Mr. Mills has a story of stomach trouble. He has an appointment at a medical out-
patients’ clinic at 14.30 on Monday, July 1st. He arrives on time, and after a few
minutes later, the doctor is ready to see him.
Doctor : Good afternoon, Mr. Mills, isn’t it?
Patient :Yes. Good afternoon, doctor
Doctor :sit down, please. Now, let me see, you’ve been having trouble with
your stomach, haven’t you?
Patient : Yes. I have this pain, and now my stools are all black and tarry
Doctor : How long have you had the pain?
Patient : Oh, for about two years. But it’s been getting much worse since the
beginning of May.
Doctor : Do you have it all the time?
Patient : No, it comes on about an hour to an hour and a half after I’ve had a
meal

III. GRAMMAR
TAG QUESTION
In a tag question, the speaker makes a statement, but is not completely certain of the
truth, so he or she uses a tag question to verify the previous statement. Sentences
using tag questions should have the main clause separated from the tag by a comma.
The sentence will always end with a question mark. Observe the following rules:
1. Use the same auxiliary verb as in the main clause. If there is no auxiliary, use do,
does, or did.
2. If the main clause is negative, the tag is affirmative; if the main clause is
affirmative, the tag is negative.
3. Don’t change the tense.
4. Use the same subject in the main clause and the tag. The tag must always contain
the subject form of the pronoun.
5. Negative forms are usually contracted (n’t). (if they are not, they follow the order
auxiliary + subject + not: He saw this yesterday, did he not?)
6. There is, there are or it as if it were a subject pronoun.
ENGLISH FOR NURSES 5
7. The verb have may be used as a main verb ( I have a new car) or it may be used
as an auxiliary (John has gone to class already). When it functions as a main verb
in American English, the auxiliary forms do, does, or did must be used in the tag.
IV. TRANSLATION
The key feature of abortion is cervical dilatation. As the name suggests, the
outcome is unavoidable pregnancy loss. The bleeding is more severe than in threatened
abortion and the woman may collapse from blood loss. The gestation sac separates
from the uterine wall and the uterus contracts to expel the concept. The uterine
contractions cause discomfort similar to that of labour contraction. If a vaginal
examination were made, the doctor would find the cervix dilating, possibly with
products of conception protruding through it. The gestation sac may be expelled
complete or part, usually placental tissue may be retained.

LESSON 2
MISCARRIAGE
The loss of pregnancy in the first weeks following implantation typically results in
bleeding at about the time of the next expected menstruation. This form of early
miscarriage, which accounts for the majority of miscarriages, is described as chemical
pregnancy. The consecutive loss of pregnancies, which occurs in about 1 to 2 percent
of women, is known as recurrent miscarriage.
The most common cause, accounting for more than 60 percent of miscarriages, is an
inherited defect in the fetus, which might result in a deformed or otherwise abnormal
child. An acuteinfectious disease may play a role in causing some miscarriages,
particularly if it reduces the oxygen supply to the fetus. Certain uterine tumors or other
uterine abnormalities also may induce a miscarriage. Death of the fetus stemming from
external trauma or from knotting of the umbilical cord is another cause of miscarriage.
Physical traumas (such as blows to or falls of the mother) and psychological traumas
are rarely implicated in miscarriage.
ENGLISH FOR NURSES 5
Endocrine disorders such as deficient secretion of the hormone progesterone may cause
poor development of the decidua (the mucal lining of the uterus) or an abnormally
irritable uterus and may thus sometimes result in miscarriage.

LESSON 3
THERESIA WAS ADMITTED WITH AN ACUTE PELVIC
INFLAMMATORY DISEASE
Theresia was admitted to the gynecological ward at 2 a.m. She had been feeling
unwell and had experienced lower abdominal pain for several days, but on this day the
pain had become gradually worse until by 11 p.m. she was in severe pain and very
frightened. Christ, her husband, persuaded her that they should telephone their G.P
and he came to see her at half past midnight. He took Theresia’s temperature which
was raised, and discussed her symptoms with her, and then thought she ought to go to
hospital to be observed and examined.
Theresia was upset, but as the pain was still severe and she was very worried,
she agreed to go. Christ quickly gathered together some of the things that she might
need in hospital, while the G.P organized an ambulance and talked to the doctor on
duty at the hospital.
In the darkened quiet ward, the night nurse receives the message that a patient
is coming in with severe lower abdominal pain. She goes quickly to single empty room
and prepares it, collecting equipment that may be needed so that there will be delay or
unnecessary noise when the patient arrives. The night nurse realizes that the symptom
of lower abdominal pain without any other information could mean a variety of
conditions.
The doctor arrives and Christ is asked to sit in the waiting room while his wife is
examined.
When the doctor has completed taking a history and doing a physical
examination, he diagnoses Thresia’s pain as the result of an acute pelvic inflammatory
disease. The senior doctor on duty will be asked to confirm this diagnosis.

IV.TRANSLATION
Our immediate reaction to a swelling is to try and decrease it. However, it is important
to remember that inflammation is an essential part of the healing process.
The first stage of inflammation is often called irritation, which then becomes
inflammation. Inflammation is followed by the discharging of pus. The granulation stage
comes next, and new tissue is formed in the wound.

Modal + Perfective You have already seen these in the section on conditionals;
however, it is also possible to use other modals in this form. The modal + perfective is

Thus, have can never be has or had.
NOTE : The expression was/were supposed to + (verb in simple form) means much the
same as should + perfective.
John was supposed to go to the post office this morning
(He didn’t go)
The policeman was supposed to make a report about the burglary
(He didn’t make a report)
Must + Perfective: This is NOT used to indicate a past obligation.
Remember to use only had to, should + perfective, or be supposed toto indicate a past
obligation. Must + perfective can only mean a logical conclusion in the past.
