OET Speaking Role Play (Nursing): Second Role Play

This video was filmed to help candidates familiarise themselves with the format of the Speaking sub-test. In this video you will see an OET Nursing candidate and an interlocutor undertaking one of the Speaking role-plays. (Note: Please find the feedback below)
The original task card is located here on our website: bit.ly/2Mgxfk7
The transcript of the whole role-play is located here: bit.ly/2Fxs3T6
While this was filmed for educational purposes, and there is no grade given, we have feedback for this video located here:
Feedback for Sample test 2:
The candidate is generally easy to understand, and stress and intonation are used well to show empathy. She demonstrates fluent speech at normal speed, but with some repetition. Her register, tone and lexis are mostly appropriate and occasional errors in grammar are not intrusive. She introduces herself and shows empathy for the parent’s feelings about the delay. She is sympathetic and non-judgemental throughout the interview. She encourages the parent to describe the symptoms but could explore these more effectively by using specific questions and active listening techniques. She explains the procedure clearly, picking up on the patient’s feelings of anxiety and reassuring her.
Did you know we have a free preparation page? And that you can purchase a feedback voucher?

Thanks for giving an idea what to do during role play

[@neethus1088]

Thank you for posting this

[@snehalsorte9929]

Do not highlight the same sentence repeatedly for example this girl saying ‘ i would like to explain to you’ she said it many times!!!

[@agene5583]

I think the mother wants to know what indications his child if he has ashtma or not, couple of times she ask this question but the nurse keeps giving thesame answer. As Nurses we have independent nursing function and we dont rely on Doctors for all procedures, she could have said the sign and symptoms of pt who has an asthma attack like restless, DoB, irritable and so on. Anyway thank you for posting

In oet speaking, you will be given a task to fulfill. It maybe stressed in the task whaat are the things to be said and to be done. You could not just say anything you want, you have to follow the task by communicating effectively at the level of your patient's understanding.

I think you've got the Speaking section, and possibly the whole of OET testing, wrong. It is NOT a measure of your professional skills. I even believe the interlocutor specifically mentioned that in the instructions. I think the examinee actually handled the child's mother's concerns pretty well, although she does have many linguistic errors.

@@laralamp9295 Aloop does have a point in that the nurse should have gone a bit more (even if just a bit) into detail regarding her opinion on whether the child has asthma or not. In the OET they have their specific tasks laid out on their roleplaying card, but it doesn't mean they shouldn't also include other things from their experience.

[@geline2686]

I thought of that too, She didn’t really answer the question of the mother.. I was thinking to answer like “Asthma isn’t something that I can’t confirm right now, however you are right with the manifestations of asthma like difficulty of breathing and wheezing, but by looking and assessing your child, he is in a stable condition and does not have any of these symptoms” I don’t know if this is a correct response

Is it okay to underline the important sentence during preparation time?

[@SUNILKUMAR-wo2pj]

Excellent

[@peterchiwawa5072]

Well but I'm is it the duty of the nurse to confirm the diagnosis before Dr s assessment?

[@gracelubanga974]

She is also not listening to the patient

[@TheMiddlingGamer]

Very helpful model answer

[@nursedl5237]

She sounds syrian. Thanks for the video!

[@dabahiaable]

The first time she said that the child's condition is stable I understood she saying the child's condition is Terrible. 😄 2nd time I understood stable.
