Task 1. Read and translate the text An emergency nurse’s job is nothing like that of any other type of nurse. For patients experiencing medical emergencies the quick and skilled actions of the medical professionals attending to them often means the difference between life and death. Emergency nurses provide care to the patients in their emergency and critical stage. They must provide fast and accurate treatment efficiently and carefully. Emergency nurses must be able to assess each of their patients quickly and as accurately as possible. During this assessment, they must determine which patients need medical attention faster than others. For example, an unconscious man who was in a serious car accident will take precedence over an infant with a low-grade fever, even if the infant was “first in line”. They consider an emergency to involve one of the following: • heavy blood loss; • loss of consciousness; • difficulty breathing; • suspected broken bones; • overdose or poisoning; • chest pain lasting more than 15 minutes. The first step that an emergency nurse and her team must take when faced with a patient in critical condition is to stabilize that patient. This means that the team works to ensure that the patient’s condition will not worsen. Patients are considered stable when their airways are clear, hemorrhaging has been controlled, and fractures have been immobilized. In some cases, patients might also need to be treated for shock before they are considered in stable condition. Working as an emergency nurse is a career that is often filled with stress and long hours. However, at the end of the day a nurse can head home knowing that she has most likely helped at least some of her patients live to see another day. Task 2.
