She then takes his blood pressure and pulse, finding his blood pressure is low at 80/50 but is normal for someone who is very fit like himself. His pulse is also low at 58. Finally, she checks his oxygen levels and respiration rate, both of which are normal.

    Instruction : Please transcribe the video into good sentences!

    00.00 – 00.48

    Nurse : Good morning, Mr Greenwood. I need to do your vital signs. Is that okay?

    Patient : Okay, but you did them a short time ago. Didn’t you?

    Nurse : Oh no, that was four hours ago.We have to do your vital signs regularly

    Patient: why is that?

    Nurse: It’s important to check that everything is alright. Can I take you temperature first?

    Patient: Sure.

    Nurse : I’ll put the thermometer under your tongue to take your temperature.

    Patient : Okay.

    Nurse : Right, it’s 37.9 degrees. Your temperature is a bit high . It was 37 degrees this morning.

    That’s normal. Thirty seven point nine degrees is a little high.

    Patient : Yes, I feel a bit sweaty


    00.48 – 01.37

    Nurse : Let me take your blood pressure and pulse now!

    Patient : Okay, my blood pressure is usually a little low. I’m very fit so it’s usually quite low.

    Nurse : I’ve got a digital monitor here, I will wrap the cuff around your upper arm first. There

    we are. Now, I’ll turn on the monitor and take your blood pressure.

    Patient : Uh, the cuff is a bit tight now.

    Nurse : Yes, it is a bit, it won’t take long. There, your blood pressure is 80 over 50. Quite low but

    if you are very fit, a low blood pressure is normal..

    Patient : What is my pulse like? It’s usually quite slow. I run everyday, so I think I’m very

    healthy.

    Nurse : Your pulse is quite slow as well, it’s 58. That is okay, because you play a lot of sport.
    01.37 - 02.21

    Nurse : I’m going to check your oxygen sets as well.

    Patient : Why are you checking that?

    Nurse : It’s to see how much oxygen is in your blood. I’m going to put the sets probe on your

    finger now. Can you put out your finger for me?

    Patient: Sure.

    Nurse: Right, your oxygen sets are 99%. That’s very good. I also counted your respirations.

    Patient : Really?

    Nurse : Yes it’s better to check a patient’s respiration when they don’t know about it. Your

    respiratory rate is 16

    Patient : Is that okay?

    Nurse : Yes, it just means that you are breathing 16 breaths per minute

    Patient : that’s a relief.
