Full transcript
Thank you for meeting with me today, Ms. Reyes. I'd like to talk through your father's palliative care plan and answer any questions you have about the coming weeks.
Gracias, enfermera. Estoy muy preocupada porque mi padre casi no come y duerme casi todo el día; no sé si eso es normal.
That's common in this stage, Ms. Reyes. His pain score dropped from eight to three out of ten since we adjusted his medication last week, which is a good sign.
Entiendo, pero anoche le costaba mucho respirar y no supimos qué hacer. ¿Qué debemos hacer si eso vuelve a pasar?
If his breathing becomes distressing again, you don't need to call an ambulance straight away — you can phone our after-hours line first.
De acuerdo, eso me tranquiliza un poco. ¿Ustedes vienen a la casa a revisarlo o tenemos que llevarlo al Flinders Medical Centre?
We can arrange a hospital bed for home use once the occupational therapist assesses the space at your house; that process usually moves along fairly quickly once approved.
Eso ayuda mucho. ¿Con qué frecuencia vendrá alguien del equipo a revisarlo en casa?
Our team currently plans to visit twice a week, though we can increase visits if his symptoms change or he needs closer monitoring at any point.
Eso me da tranquilidad, gracias. ¿Y si necesito ayuda durante la noche, hay alguien disponible para atendernos?
Yes — the after-hours line is staffed overnight every night, so you're never without support if something changes suddenly and you need advice.
Muchas gracias, enfermera. Esto nos da más confianza para poder cuidarlo en casa.
Terms in this dialogue that cost marks

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.
