| INTRODUCTION |
| Michael: Hi everyone, I'm Michael. |
| Laura: And I'm Laura. |
| Michael: And welcome to Must-Know Medical Spanish Sentence Structures. Review of Systems. Constitutional Symptoms. |
| Michael: In this lesson, you'll learn how to use a sentence pattern for asking your patient about the constitutional signs and symptoms they are presenting. |
| PATTERN |
| Michael: First, let’s look at the Spanish sentence for, "Have you had a fever?" |
| Laura: ¿Ha tenido fiebre? |
| Laura: [slow] ¿Ha tenido fiebre? |
| Michael: The pattern for asking your patient about the signs and symptoms they have presented has three elements. First, the verb meaning "have [you]." Note how the "you" is omitted from the Spanish sentence, because in Spanish the subject is implied by the form the verb is conjugated in. |
| Laura: ha, [slow] ha, [normal] ha. |
| Michael: Second, the verb meaning "had." |
| Laura: tenido, [slow] tenido, [normal] tenido. |
| Michael: And last, the signs and symptoms you are asking the patient about – "a fever." |
| Laura: fiebre, [slow] fiebre, [normal] fiebre. |
| Michael: Altogether, we have... "Have you had a fever?" |
| Laura: ¿Ha tenido fiebre? [slow] ¿Ha tenido fiebre? [normal] ¿Ha tenido fiebre? |
| Michael: Here’s another example meaning, "Have you had chills?" First, the verb "have [you]." |
| Laura: ha |
| Michael: Second, the word meaning "had." |
| Laura: tenido |
| Michael: And last, the signs and symptoms you are asking the patient about – in this case, "chills." |
| Laura: escalofríos, [slow] escalofríos, [normal] escalofríos. |
| Michael: Altogether we have... |
| Laura: ¿Ha tenido escalofríos? [slow] ¿Ha tenido escalofríos? [normal] ¿Ha tenido escalofríos? |
| Michael: "Have you had chills?" |
| [pause] |
| Laura: ¿Ha tenido escalofríos? |
| Michael: The sentence pattern is, |
| Laura: Ha tenido + [Sign or Symptom]. |
| Michael: "Have you had + [Sign or Symptom]." |
| Laura: Ha tenido + [Sign or Symptom]. |
| PRACTICE |
| Michael: Let’s practice. |
| Michael: Imagine you’re questioning your patient about the constitutional symptoms they have presented. |
| Michael: Use the sentence pattern to say "Have you had fatigue?" "Fatigue" is |
| Laura: cansancio [slow] cansancio [normal] cansancio. |
| [pause] |
| Laura: ¿Ha tenido cansancio? [slow] ¿Ha tenido cansancio? [normal] ¿Ha tenido cansancio? |
| [pause] |
| Laura: ¿Ha tenido cansancio? |
| Michael: Now imagine you are asking your patient "Have you had weight changes?" "Weight changes" is |
| Laura: cambios de peso, [slow] cambios de peso, cambios de peso. |
| [pause] |
| Laura: ¿Ha tenido cambios de peso? [slow] ¿Ha tenido cambios de peso? ¿Ha tenido cambios de peso? |
| [pause] |
| Laura: ¿Ha tenido cambios de peso? |
| Michael: Let’s hear some more examples. |
| Michael: "Have you had weight gain?" |
| Laura: ¿Ha tenido aumento de peso? |
| Laura: ¿Ha tenido aumento de peso? |
| Michael: "Have you had weight loss?" |
| Laura: ¿Ha tenido pérdida de peso? |
| Laura: ¿Ha tenido pérdida de peso? |
| Michael: "Have you had night sweats?" |
| Laura: ¿Ha tenido sudores nocturnos? |
| Laura: ¿Ha tenido sudores nocturnos? |
| Michael: "Have you had changes in your sleep?" |
| Laura: ¿Ha tenido cambios en su dormir? |
| Laura: ¿Ha tenido cambios en su dormir? |
| Michael: "Have you had unexplained falls?" |
| Laura: ¿Ha tenido caídas inexplicables? |
| Laura: ¿Ha tenido caídas inexplicables? |
| Michael: "Have you had a loss of strength (or weakness)?" |
| Laura: ¿Ha tenido debilidad? |
| Laura: ¿Ha tenido debilidad? |
