This Thursday was a challenge. I had two adult patients that did not speak hardly any English. Due to the language barrier I feel like I don't completely do my job. Even though there are translators that help, it's hard to feel your patient out to see how they are doing with their home care and what I can do to help them better their home care. I tried really hard to speak my Spanish with one patient, we both were trying to communicate with eachother...but it just wasn't working. I also finally got some harder patients to work on and it was really exciting! I have had children patients for the last couple weeks and it was excited to have a challenge; both in hygiene and language.
