OET READING DAILY
Text:
Alzheimer’s disease is a progressive brain disorder that gradually impairs memory, and cognitive function, and leads to behavioral changes. It is characterized by the formation of abnormal protein deposits in the brain, leading to neuronal damage. It shows symptoms such as memory loss, confusion, and difficulty with language. While there is currently no cure for Alzheimer’s, early diagnosis and treatment can help manage symptoms and improve quality of life.
Question:
It can be inferred from the passage that:
A. Alzheimer’s disease is a manageable condition.
B. There are no effective treatments available for Alzheimer’s.
C. Alzheimer’s disease is an advancing brain disease.
D. Alzheimer’s disease is primarily caused by genetics.

ANSWERS
LISTENING
Answer: C. To prioritize patient care based on the severity of their condition.
Rationale: The conversation highlights the primary purpose of triage, which is to prioritize patient care based on the severity of their condition. This ensures that those with the most critical needs receive immediate attention. While options A and B might be relevant in other contexts, the conversation focuses on the specific goal of triage, which is to optimize resource allocation and ensure that patients receive appropriate care.
READING
Answer: C. Alzheimer’s disease is an advancing brain disease.
Rationale: The passage explicitly states that Alzheimer’s is a “progressive brain disorder,” indicating that it is a condition that worsens over time. While option A suggests that Alzheimer’s is manageable, the passage doesn’t explicitly state this. Option B is incorrect, as the passage mentions that early diagnosis and treatment can help manage symptoms. Option D is also incorrect, as the passage states that the disease is characterized by the formation of abnormal protein deposits in the brain, implying a complex interplay of biological factors.
WRITING
I am writing regarding Mrs. Mihiraa who is suspected of having Alzheimer’s disease and requires further evaluation and necessary support for the family.
SPEAKING
Mihiraa, I understand that you’re looking for a solution to your symptoms. However, the foremost thing is that it is not necessary to get a prescription medication for your current condition. Apart from that, as a nurse, I’m not qualified to prescribe medications. Your doctor is the best person to assess your needs and determine if a prescription is necessary. I can help you schedule an appointment with your doctor so you can discuss your concerns and receive appropriate medical advice.
