Прочитайте и переведите тексты о медицинских процедурах. Задайте по каждому тексту 2 вопроса врачу от имени родителя ребенка (письменно)

1. Ultrasound scan. The doctor asks the patient to lie down on the table. He rubs in a little gel into the area under examination. A hand-held device (transducer) (зонд) directs the sound waves to the tissue. The transducer is moved over the skin to create a picture that can be seen on a screen. If it is necessary, the doctor asks the patient to change the position and continues the examination.

2. IM injection. The nurse chooses a place to make the injection. She wipes the skin with an alcohol swab. Then she pinches the skin. The nurse holds the syringe at a 90-degree angle to the skin, and pushes the needle all the way in. After that she asks you to press an alcohol swab onto the site of the injection.

3. ECG. The doctor asks the patient to remove the top clothes and take off the socks and the shoes. The patient lies down on the bed. The doctor asks the patient to be as relaxed as possible. The doctor will attach small patches called electrodes to the areas. An ECG is painless. The electrodes may feel cold. In rare cases, some people may develop a rash (сыпь) or irritation where the patches were placed. The patches are connected by wires to a machine that turns the heart's electrical signals into wavy lines, which are printed on paper. The test results are reviewed by the doctor.

4. Taking a blood sample. Many blood tests don't require any special preparations. For some, you may need to not eat or drink before the test. During a blood test, the nurse will ask you to roll up your sleeve, place your thumb inside your fist and squeeze tightly. The site of injection is swabbed with alcohol. The blood is usually drawn from a vein in your arm using a needle. A finger prick also may be used. The procedure usually is quick and easy, although it may cause some short-term discomfort.

FLU VS COMMON COLD IN CHILDREN

Flu is a viral infection. It's passed on when people breathe in liquid droplets containing the influenza virus that other people sneeze or cough into the air, or when people touch objects contaminated with the virus. Flu is characterized by sudden onset of the disease, fever, headache, decreased appetite, muscle aches, cough, sore throat, chills.

But if the onset of the disease is gradual, fever is mild, the child has no headache, pains in the muscles and chills, the appetite is normal, it's most likely a cold. In case of a common cold usually only the nose, throat, sinuses and upper chest are affected.

Flu can cause serious complications, including pneumonia, and can even be fatal. To avoid these complications doctors prescribe antiviral therapy, but it is effective only within 48 hours of the onset of the disease. Antibiotics do not work in case of flu. Most of the time, you can care for your child by offering plenty of fluids, rest, and extra comfort.
