These are my go to phrases. I can understand way more than I can speak.
Some of the phrases in the post above are incorrect in conjugation or use. Get a good medical terms in Spanish book like above. I speak fairly fluent Spanish, but still refer to a guide to make sure it's correct.

That 's my list
Medical Spanish by MAVRO is a pretty cool app. It is divided into sections like introduction, pain assessment, respiratory, pt history, etc. It will even "speak" the phrases for you, most of which can be answered yes or no. I haven't had the opportunity to use it yet but I think it could be helpful in a pinch.

Yep but they get the job done.
BUT it really helps to have a foundation and know the med terms. That's my next step, learning these terms so I can communicate better.

Just to help with some of these terms
for the bathroom question it should be
Necesitas usar al bano? or Necesita ir al bano?
For introducing yourself
Hola, mi nombre es "insert name", or me llamo "insert name". Yo soy su enfermera, or if male enfermero.

I am having a hard time speaking to my Spanish residents in the nursing home that I work in. Anyone know any common words that could help me?
