This book is undoubtedly the most useful tool a nurse or health care provider could avail himself of in making any effort to obtain information from a Spanish -speaking patient. The user of this guide book learns right away that the 5 vowels as used in the Spanish language never change the sounds assigned to them in speaking or writing, and that the letter ‘h’ is always silent. Nurses Bridging the Gap eliminates the need for any previous knowledge of the second language, but instead, provides a way to have immediate access to the language in question through the provision of alphabet guides and pronunciation keys.
