I was asking that question; I haven't resided in the States in some time and had never heard the phrase. thnaks to all who gave serious answers. It will really help my nursing students. (There tons of sources for technical vocabulary, but this is the only place where I could get these critical downn-to-earth phrases.) :)

[What is " an advanced directive"?

Obviously it's my dsilexic way of spelling blood pressure.

Thank You. But what is this: "So you say your ..........." ?

Hi, I am looking for phrases nurses commonly use with patients, e.g., "I am going to take your bollod pressure now," "This will hurt a little," "Please hold still," "Who is your next of kin," and "The doctor will see you now / shortly." Thanks
