 SINUSITIS OET Speaking Role Play

Patient VS Nurse

Nurse: Good morning. My name is OET ANS. I am a registered nurse in this hospital. I am here to do the check-up following your hip replacement. Am I talking to Picasso?

Patient: Ans. Good morning. Yes, I am Pablo Picasso.

Nurse: Hello, Picasso. Nice to meet you.

Patient: Nice to meet your nurse.

Nurse: Tell me Picasso, how are you doing after the hip replacement?

Patient: I am feeling better and also, I can now walk much easier.

Nurse: That's good to hear.

Patient: Well, nurse. I am feeling tired though, as I have been sleeping badly the last few nights.

Nurse: All right, Picasso, can you please elicit the possible reasons for your poor sleeping,

Patient: Nurse, my face feels a bit painful and I had a headache for a few days. Also. I had a cold last week and my nose is badly blocked, which is disturbing my sleep.

Nurse: Do you have any stress or anxiety?

Patient: Actually, nurse. I am not anxious or stressed.

Nurse: Okay. For my better understanding of your condition. Can I ask you a few questions that will give me more insight into your headache?

Patient: Sure. You may please ask.

Nurse: Thank you, Picasso. I would like to know the severity of your headache. How would you rate your headache on a scale of one to 10, where for one is the least pain and 10 is the worst pain, you ever had?

Patient: Definitely nurse. The headache is bad. About a seven out of 10. I would say,

Nurse: I’m sorry to hear that. May I know whether the headache gets worse when moving?

Patient: Yes. I feel it gets worse when I move forward.

Nurse: Okay. Do you have a fever associated with this?

Patient: No, I don't have a fever.

Nurse: And what about the change in appetite? Loss of sense of taste?

Patient: All nurse. I am heating glass as it hurts while chewing.

Nurse: Oh, I see.

Patient: Also, I have lost my sense of taste.

Nurse: All right. Thank you for answering to my questions, Picasso. Try not to worry. From your words, the symptoms suggest the acute sinusitis, which is inflammation of the sinus lining at the back of the nose.

Patient: Okay.

Nurse: This is a very common condition, which is usually self-assaulting and not a serious issue. So, no need to be panicked about it. All right. Now I will recommend remedies, which help to treat your condition.

Patient: Okay nurse.

Nurse: It is recommended to consume more fluids because high fluid intake will loosen secretions.

Patient: Okay. I will consume more fluids

Nurse: Then that's great. Also gently blow the nose to clear the sinus and try to keep your head elevated when lying down.

Patient: All right. I will do that.

Nurse: Following my suggestions will help you to deal with your condition to a greater degree.

Patient: Nurse. I will do what you have suggested, but I think I need to see a GP.

Nurse: Your thoughts are sensible. I suggest you see the GP only if there is no improvement in one week,

Patient: is it?

Nurse: Yes, Picasso, so, that the GP will prescribe for appropriate treatment and also can rule out other underlying conditions if any.

Patient: Okay. Nurse. I understand that.

Nurse: I reassure you that if you follow my suggestions, you will get cured and can manage your condition much more effectively.

Patient: All right, nurse. I will try your suggestions initially. And if there is no improvement, I will see a GP.

Nurse: That's perfect. Thank you for accepting my suggestions. I wish you was speedy recovery.

Patient: Thank you, nurse.
