OET SPEAKING DAILY
SETTING: Emergency department
TASK
Explain purpose of triage (Eg: assess seriousness of case, decide on appropriate action, etc.). Reassure patient (Eg: examined by doctor soon, priority case, etc.).
ANSWER
LISTENING
Answer: B) Reduce the frequency of use.
Rationale: Randy advised Mihiraa to reduce the frequency of use if she experiences dryness or irritation from the ketoconazole shampoo. This indicates a way to manage potential side effects without discontinuing the treatment entirely. Increasing the frequency could worsen the irritation, and consulting a dermatologist immediately is only necessary if there’s no improvement after a month, not as a first step in managing minor side effects.
READING
Answer: C. There are ongoing challenges in the development and application of gene therapy.
Rationale: The text explicitly mentions several challenges associated with gene therapy, including safe gene delivery, potential side effects, and ethical considerations. These challenges indicate that gene therapy is still an evolving field with ongoing research and development efforts.
WRITING
Upon discharge, Ms. Mihiraa will require continued intravenous antibiotic therapy while awaiting culture results. Please apply a warm compress to the incision site, monitor vital signs closely, and assess pain regularly. Adjust analgesics as needed. If signs of deep infection worsen, consider surgical exploration.
SPEAKING
Mihiraa, let me explain the purpose of triage. I understand you’re waiting to be seen by a doctor. We’re doing our best to assist everyone as quickly as possible.
Triage is a process we use to assess the seriousness of each patient’s condition and determine the appropriate course of action. This helps us prioritize patients based on their medical needs and ensure that those who require immediate attention receive it promptly.
Please know that you’re in good hands. The doctor will examine you as soon as possible. Your case is important to us, and we’re doing everything we can to provide you with the best possible care.
