Nursing at Beth Israel Hospital produces the best patient care possible. If we are to solve the nursing shortage, hospital administration and doctors everywhere would do well to follow Beth Israel’s example.

At Beth Israel each patient is assigned to primary nurse who visits at length with the patient and constructs a full-scale health account that covers everything from his medical history to his motional state. Then he writes a care plan centered on the patient’s illness but which also includes everything else that is necessary.

The primary nurse stays with the patient through his hospitalization, keeping  track with his progress and seeking further advice from his doctor. If a patient at Beth Israel is not responding to treatment, it is not uncommon for his nurse to propose another approach to the doctor. What the doctor at Beth Israel has in the primary nurse is a true colleague.

Nursing at Beth Israel also involves a decentralized nursing administration; every floor, every unit is a self-contained organization. There are nurse managers instead of head nurses; in addition to their medical duties they do all their own hiring and dismissing, employee advising, and they make salary recommendations. Each unit’s nurses decide among themselves who will work what shifts and when.

Beth Israel’s nurse-in-chief ranks as an equal with other vice presidents of the hospital. She is also a member of the Medical Executive Committee, which in most hospitals includes only doctors.

 

53．Which of the following is the character of the nursing system at Beth Israel Hospital?

   A．The doctor gets more active professional support from the primary nurse.

   B．Each patient is taken care of by a primary nurse day and night

   C．The primary nurse writes care plan for every patient

     Robots are being used for the first time in hospitals. "Robot-nurses" perform a variety of tasks such as
delivering medicine, food and laboratory samples to sickrooms and taking away waste. Patients aren't
treated by robots, as this is still done by medical staff. The idea is to employ robots to transport supplies
between departments.
     "Nurses often have to break off from what they are doing to gather supplies," says Peter Seiff, who
makes the robots called TUGs. Research shows any interruption in medical work can lead to errors-a
nurse may forget whether she has given medicine and may give a patient double the dose (劑量) or none
at all.
     The robots vary in size according to what job they perform, but normally take the shape of a metal
box on wheels, with a box on the side containing their software.
     After being programmed, the robots are able to find their way around a hospital unassisted. They also
contain scanning technology to create electronic pictures or a "memory" of routes on their hard drives to
help them go through passages, doors and other obstacles. Each robot is also monitored at the producer's headquarters (總部) in case it runs into any difficulties.
     Trials show TUGs reduce the time it takes for a patient to receive medicine, and stop drugs from going missing. A study at the University of Maryland Medical Centre in the U.S. found that when three TUGs
were used over the course of a year, the average length of time from the drugstore receiving a prescription to the patient receiving it dropped from 74 minutes to 30 minutes and saved nurses 6,123 hours finding medicines. It also cut the number of medicines that went missing to zero.
     "The biggest complaints we receive from patients is that the nurses don't spend enough time with them. Anything that frees nurses is a boon," says Katherine Mulligan, director of nursing at the hospital, "The
TUGs allow nurses to spend more time focusing on patient care. Nurse satisfaction has improved."
1. Which of the following activities are robot-nurses NOT programmed to deal with?
A. Transporting supplies.      
B. Taking away waste.
C. Taking care of patients.  
D. Creating electronic pictures.
2. The underline word "boon" in the last paragraph probably means           .
A. benefit  
B. dream    
C. habit  
D. complaint
3. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Robots can help nurses save a lot of time.  
B. All robots have the same size.  
C. Robots are unable to find their way by themselves.  
D. Robots cannot get help if they run into difficulties.
4. What is the attitude of the author towards robot-nurses?
A. Neutral.
B. Positive.  
C. Negative.
D. Unknown.

科目：高中英語 來源： 題型：閱讀理解

I guess I was a pretty conservative person and definitely an overly protective mother to my daughters, Kimberley, now 17, and Cassie, now 16.

　 I worked as a director nursing at a private hospital. Then after my husband and I divorced (離婚), I started my own typesetting business, working long hours at home. I hardly ever went out, even though my girls were always going somewhere. Finally, about a year ago, I thought, “What am I doing with my life?”

　 My life changed after I went with Terri, a girl friend who was buying a motorbike. Before I knew it, I had bought one, too— a Yamaha Verago 250.

　 It was totally on impulse (沖動(dòng)), but the best decision I ever made, I booked into a training school and was taught to ride by a rough-looking Harley rider. Then I bought all the leather gear(傳動(dòng)裝置).

　 Motorcycle riding has given me a sense of freedom and so much personal satisfaction. It also is a great alternative form of transport, and an activity that enables you to make new friends.

　 Terri and I ride mostly on weekends, to places such as Bateau Bay (on the New South Wales central coast). That ride is one of my favorites, because we stop at Mt White Caf, a bikers’ caf, on the way, to watch everyone strut their stuff (大顯身手). It’s just wonderful —men and women bikers get to meet, admire and complain about each other’s bikes.

　 I also joined WIMA (Women’s International Motorcycle Association), and we go on long, organized rides.

　 Bikers can look like a rough and violent group, but they can be anything from professional people to engineers. The guys are really very good and think it is great that women ride. All bike riders wave or nod to each other on the road— it is also different from driving a car. There is such close friendship and I have never had so much fun.

1．The writer’s life changed after ________.

　 A. she got to know Terri　　　　　　　　 B. she bought her motorbike

　 C. she got divorced　　　　　　　　　　　 D. she started her own business

2.From the statement “It was totally on impulse”, we can infer that ________.

A.    the writer suddenly decided to change her life

B.    the writer’s impulse beat faster when she made the decision

C.    the writer suddenly thought of buying a motorbike as her friend did

D.    the writer had planned to buy a motorbike before she went with Terri

3.Which of the following is NOT true as to the writer’s activities with her motorbike?

A.The writer went to a motorbike-training school.

B.The writer mostly goes to work on her motorbike.

C.The writer has made some new friends by riding together with others.

D.The writer joined an organization and she could go on long and organized rides.

4.The bikers the writer meets on her rides are ________.

A. rough-looking people without jobs　　　 B. mostly professors and engineers

C. women of her own age　　　　　　 D. people of different professions
