The purpose of this conversation is to inform the patient, whose name is Reg, about the arrangements that have been made for him for the period after his discharge from the hospital.

I’m arranging a district nurse to pop in on a daily basis … um, to dress your foot and the nasty sore you’ve got on your back …” This quotation includes subject specific language to show that she is a professional in her job area. This is a reason that Reg is nervous at the start because they are talking like professionals but after a few lines he settles in and stops being nervous. A quotation to prove he was nervous is “yes.

That’s fine, yes.” This shows that now he has gotten used to the nurses he has settled down and become friendlier with
