Respiratory and Anaesthesia Technology

Introduction

Hello everyone! My name is Lorianne and I am currently studying Respiratory and Anesthesia Technology at college. For those who are not familiar with me, I am in my second semester of this program and I am truly passionate about it. My coursework includes anatomy, biochemistry, microbiology, and respiratory care, both theoretical and practical. This allows me to not only learn the concepts, but also apply them in real-life situations. Upon completion of this program, I will receive a diploma that will qualify me to work as a respiratory therapist. However, this role involves a wide range of tasks and responsibilities. A respiratory therapist is a healthcare professional who specializes in assessing, treating, and maintaining patients' cardiorespiratory functions. While they primarily work in hospitals, they may also provide home care and visit long-term care facilities.

The Problem

As a respiratory therapist, you may encounter a common issue in the emergency room: a COPD patient who speaks English comes in for a consultation. COPD is a progressive, preventable, and treatable lung disease that causes a permanent obstruction of the airways. However, your protocol for COPD patients is in French, which poses a challenge. In order to effectively communicate with your patient and ensure their understanding of their illness, you will need to translate the protocol into English.

You will need to explain the protocol to the patient as you perform it to build their trust and ensure they understand their illness. Therefore, if you cannot do this because your protocol is not translated, it could affect the clarity of your explanations and cause him anxiety.

This could potentially lead to the patient refusing to follow the treatment, which could have serious consequences for their health.

The solution to this problem is to use the Virtual Writing Tutor to translate your protocol.

The Quest

You can access this website on the internet from your electronic device, but you have to create an account to have access to the assistance it offers.

When you first arrive on the site, you will notice a navigation menu located at the top of the page. This menu consists of four tabs, which can be easily accessed by clicking on them. The first tab provides formative tests for practice, while the second tab offers projects to assist in learning and practicing English. The third tab contains information about the site, and the fourth tab is exclusively for members.

The Solution

Next to the membership tab, you will find the word "French". Click on it and you will arrive at a page with a text box. Paste the text you wish to translate, in this case, the protocol. Above the text box, there are three tabs. The first allows you to count the number of words in your text, the second to translate your text, and the third to offer options for improving your text.

The Conclusion

You will therefore be able to translate your protocol and proceed with your treatment while building trust with your patient.
