Hola, Marta. Soy Laura (TCAE) del turno de mañana.
Te dejo un aviso del Sr. Pérez (hab. 214). Al cambiarlo de posición, he visto enrojecimiento en el talón derecho, en un punto de presión. La piel está un poco irritada, pero no he visto secreción ni que vaya a sangrar. Le he hecho una limpieza suave y he puesto un apósito fino para proteger. ¿Puedes revisarlo esta tarde y decirme si sigue rojo? Gracias.
Hi, Marta. I’m Laura (nursing assistant) from the morning shift.
I’m leaving you a note about Mr. Pérez (room 214). When repositioning him, I saw redness on the right heel, at a pressure point. The skin is a bit irritated, but I haven’t seen any discharge or that it is going to bleed. I did a gentle cleaning and put on a thin dressing to protect it. Can you check it this afternoon and tell me if it’s still red? Thanks.
Useful phrases:
-
He visto que… y me preocupa que…
(I have seen that… and I’m worried that…)

Esta tarde lo reviso y te informo si…
(This afternoon I’ll check it and I’ll let you know if…)

¿Puedes decirme si el paciente tiene dolor o fiebre?
(Can you tell me if the patient has pain or fever?)
Hi, Laura. Thanks for the notice. This afternoon I’ll stop by room 214 and check the right heel. I’m going to see if the redness improves with repositioning and if the skin is still irritated. If there is discharge, scab, or pain, I’ll text you and inform nursing staff. Do you know if Mr. Pérez complains when putting weight on his foot or if today he has spent a long time lying down?
