Full transcript
Mrs. Laine's memory assessment came back this week — she scored twenty-two out of thirty, which suggests mild dementia rather than normal age-related memory changes.
Voi ei... en olisi uskonut, että tilanne on näin vakava. Mitä tämä tarkoittaa hänen jokapäiväisen elämänsä kannalta?
I'm referring her to the memory clinic at Barwon Health in Geelong; they can usually see new patients within three weeks for a full diagnostic review.
Kolme viikkoa kuulostaa kohtuulliselta ajalta. Voiko hän silti ajaa autoa sillä välin, tohtori?
No — she must not drive until an occupational therapist assessment confirms it's safe; continuing to drive now could put her and other road users at serious risk.
Ymmärrän, kerron hänelle tästä tänään. Tarvitseeko hän jotain uutta lääkettä muistin tukemiseksi?
I'll start her on donepezil, five milligrams once daily at bedtime, and we'll review how she responds after six weeks before considering any dose change.
Onko tällä lääkkeellä sivuvaikutuksia, joita minun pitäisi tarkkailla, ja pitäisikö kotona muuttaa jotain turvallisuuden takia?
Watch for nausea, dizziness or vivid dreams, and remove loose rugs at home; arranging a home safety assessment through My Aged Care would also help considerably.
Kuulostaa järkevältä. Onko tällaista tukea mahdollista saada ilman suuria kustannuksia perheelle?
There's a government subsidy that can lower the ongoing cost quite a bit, though exact eligibility depends on her individual care needs assessment outcome.
Kiitos paljon, tohtori. Soitan My Aged Care -palveluun jo tänään ja järjestän kotiarvioinnin.
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 CareSano englanniksi 'My Aged Care' -nimellä, koska se on virallinen palvelun nimi. Voit lisätä lyhyen selityksen: 'vanhuspalveluiden yhteyspiste'.
Practise it
Reading a transcript is not interpreting. The practice room 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. Your first full dialogue is marked free.
