Three care plans

Nurse Joana explained three conditional sentences to a patient group. First, she said, “If people lose fluids, they can feel weak.” This was a general fact about the body. Then she said, “If the pain worsens, return to the clinic.” This was a real instruction for a possible future change.

A hypothetical resource

Joana added, “If we had an ICU bed, we could transfer the patient now.” The group understood that the bed was not available at that moment. The sentence described a hypothetical situation. Joana asked everyone to make one example of each type. The examples helped them connect grammar to safe communication.
