In the health care setting, it is extremely common for health professionals to check a person’s blood sugar levels. Thanks to these podcasts, I now know that niveles de azúcar en la sangre translates into blood sugar levels. Another pair of vocabulary words that caught my attention were words that address medical aparatos or medical devices. Things like the la aguja (needle), la jeringa (syringe), la cuchilla (blade), la corbertura protectora (protective cover), émbolo (plunger), el frasco (bottle), el tapón (cap) or una telilla de algodón (a cotton pad) are items that are commonly used in a clinical setting. As a future health care professional, I am glad that this podcast has taught me these common words for these clinical utensils. Health professionals should also be familiar with common directional Spanish words such as colocar (to place), ajustar (to adjust), añadir (to add), golpear suavemente (to tap), cargar (to load), and aplicar (to apply); therefore, if health professionals are given a relevant health care order they should be able to follow if they learn these Spanish Terms. I found the translations to these terms on the websites of Word Reference, Spanish Dict, and

From talking to and observing a physician assistant in the emergency department of Rhode Island Hospital, I have been informed of basic questions held for the patient such as, "How are you feeling today, what is bothering you", "How long has this been going on for?", "Any chance that you are pregnant?", and "Have you recently been out of the country?". Physician assistants then perform a physical examination of the patient and establish a basic treatment plan. Observations have shown me that charting is a major part of a PA in the emergency department and other departments. I learned that this is where a description of the patient is recorded and it is also where the plan for treatment is written. After examination, a physician assistant takes the important role in ordering and interpreting tests depending on the patient's conditions.

To be person centred, radiographers should use the right message said in the appropriate context, depending on the individual. For example, in practise a paediatric patent may require a step-by-step explanation whereas an elderly patient may require repetition of instructions in a louder voice. Also, to preserve the patient’s dignity, it is advisable to avoid using medical terminology, as some patient might not understand and this could make them feel uncomfortable and insignificant.

Regarding effective communication, “good interpretation and good translation go a long way toward solving cross-cultural communication problems and language barriers in health care” (Dreachslin, Gilbert & Malone, 2013, p. 289). These services, through interpreters or voice-assisted devices, provide better opportunities to blend cultures and understand the tradition and beliefs of diverse populations. These two topics were just samplings of the information discussed, but they stuck out to me on a personal level, while pushing me to promote cultural competence and understanding beyond this course in all my future workplace
