Full transcript
Thanks for coming in again — I've been reviewing your mother's donepezil dose since her last review at this Austin Health clinic.
Dankie dokter. Sy raak nog steeds soms deurmekaar in die aande en vergeet gereeld waar sy goed gebêre het. Moet die dosis verander word?
For now we'll keep the dose steady — evening confusion is common with dementia. Have you noticed any side effects since she started the medication?
Sy het nie veel gekla nie, maar ek wil vra — sal die medikasie enige newe-effekte hê wat ek moet dophou?
Yes — watch for nausea, vivid dreams, or a slow heart rate, especially the first few weeks. Call us immediately if her pulse drops below 60.
Dankie, ek sal oplet. Die probleem is net dat sy soms vergeet om die pille in te neem, veral in die oggend.
A weekly dosette box with seven daily compartments could help — the pharmacist can fill it each Monday if that suits you.
Dit sal wonderlik wees. Ons sukkel ook met skoonmaak en kos maak by die huis — is daar enige tuisorg-ondersteuning wat ons kan kry?
You'd need to register with My Aged Care for a home support assessment — there's no fixed number of weeks, it varies case by case.
Verstaan ek reg — moet ek self bel, of kan iemand anders namens haar registreer? Sy sal nie graag wil hê vreemdelinge kom in haar huis nie.
You or a family member can call on her behalf — that's fine. Let's review again in three months at this same clinic.
Dit stel my gerus. Ek sal vandag nog die My Aged Care-lyn bel en die afspraak vir drie maande van nou af bevestig.
Terms in this dialogue that cost marks
CCL is marked on information transferred. These Australian terms have no direct word in most test languages — get one wrong and the segment's information is gone.
- my aged careSê 'My Aged Care' presies soos in Engels, want dit is 'n eiename van 'n spesifieke regeringsdiens; jy kan byvoeg 'die regering se diens vir sorg aan bejaardes' as verduideliking.
Practise it
Reading a transcript is not interpreting. The free daily dialogue on this site plays each segment at native speed, records you, and marks the information you transferred against the same categories examiners use — omissions, distortions, insertions — so you know where the marks went.
