Question 2 Problem: Nurses frequently struggle to communicate patients' symptoms and medical problems in English, which might cause misunderstandings among medical professionals and even put patients at risk. Solution: The goal of this project is to create an ESP course that will increase the accuracy of patient information documentation in English by using the most up-to-date medical terminology and concise, descriptive language. Steps: 1. Revised Steps: 1. Assessing the Needs: - Conduct a survey asking practicing nurses about their common documentation difficulties. - Review incident reports that mention mistakes in paperwork. - Analyze nursing notes held as models to identify problematic areas. - Engage in conversation with hospital management and nurse supervisors about the demands of documentation. 2. Curriculum Design: - Develop modules covering the following subjects: a. Medical terminology in the context of prevalent ailments and symptoms b. Clear and concise descriptive writing c. Synthesis of information d. Acronyms and effective use of medical terminology e. Objective versus subjective documentation f. Ethical and legal issues with documentation 3. Materials Development: - Create a "notebook" with actual documentation examples for use in practice exercises Build online modules using interactive case studies - Develop a glossary of terms and a guide to their use - Create formatting templates for common documentation situations (e.g., progress notes, admission notes) 4. Methods of Instruction: - Case-based instruction with real patients - Practice documentation peer review meetings -Nurses document following standardized patient encounters in simulations - Use an electronic health record to integrate technology EHR models 5. Assessment: - Skills assessments for documentation before and after the training -A uniform criteria will be used to assess the students' documentation examples. -Practical tests will be given, in which students document based on simulated patient experiences. - Formative evaluations through continuous weekly documentation exercises Following Woodrow's framework for ESP course design, this method tackles a particular issue in nursing practice, focuses on a key aspect of the task, and outlines the measures students can take to improve their skills. Answer This is a common problem faced by nurses, as communication is a crucial aspect of the healthcare profession.

Question 5 While Japan has a execellent network of traditional road, rail, air, and sea travel, the country also boasts the exceptionally fast and safe Shinkansen system of bullet trains. Is this a simple, compound, complex, or compound-complex sentence? Answer "While Japan has an excellent network of traditional road, rail, air, and sea travel, the country also boasts the exceptionally fast and safe Shinkansen system of bullet trains." This sentence is a compound-complex sentence. A compound-complex sentence is made up of at least two independent clauses (simple or compound sentences) and one or more dependent clauses (complex sentence). In this sentence, the first half "While Japan has an excellent network of traditional road, rail, air, and sea travel," is an independent clause and the second half "the country also boasts the exceptionally fast and safe Shinkansen system of bullet trains" is also an independent clause. The dependent clause is "While Japan has an excellent network of traditional road, rail, air, and sea travel". The use of the conjunction "while" in this sentence indicates that the two independent clauses are connected and the dependent clause provides additional information. Academic sources support this classification of the sentence as compound-complex. According to Purdue OWL, a compound-complex sentence has two independent clauses connected by a coordinating conjunction and one or more dependent clauses. This sentence fits this definition as it has two independent clauses connected by the coordinating conjunction "while" and one dependent clause. (https://owl.purdue.edu/owl/general_writing/sentence_structure/compound_complex_sent ences.html) Another reliable source, Grammarly, also categorizes this sentence as compoundcomplex. According to their grammar rules, compound-complex sentences have at least two independent clauses and at least one dependent clause. This sentence satisfies both criteria as it has two independent clauses and one dependent clause. (https://www.grammarly.com/blog/compound-complex-sentences/) In terms of calculations, no mathematical or numerical calculations are needed for this sentence. However, in order to identify the sentence as compound-complex, one can first identify the independent clauses and the dependent clause, and then check if the sentence structure fits the definition of a compound-complex sentence. In conclusion, based on the analysis and information from academic sources, "While Japan has an excellent network of traditional road, rail, air, and sea travel, the country also boasts the exceptionally fast and safe Shinkansen system of bullet trains" is a compound-complex sentence. This is because it has two independent clauses connected by a coordinating conjunction and one dependent clause, as per the definition and criteria outlined by Purdue OWL and Grammarly.
