Exercise 8. Read and translate the following conversation.
Pharmacist: Hello. Can I help you?
Patient’s mother: I hope so. We’re on vacations so I can’t make appointment to see our pediatrician and was hoping you could help us. My daughter has been scratching her head a lot. I thought maybe she’s scratching of the sun.
Pharmacist: Let ma take a look at her hair and her scalp. Has she had head lice before?
Patient’s mother: No.
Pharmacist: How old is your daughter?
Patient’s mother: She’s 6.
Pharmacist: It looks like she’ got her first case of head lice.
Patient’s mother: She must have picked it up at day camp.
Pharmacist: Maybe. It’s not anything to be embarrassed about. I suggest you buy a metal louse comb and soak it in rubbing alcohol and run it through her hair to remove the wingless insects. They look like sesame seeds. I also recommend a medicated antilice treatment. Nix works well. You can find both in the shampoo aisle. It’s also a good idea to wash her sheets, pillowcases, towels, and her clothes.
Patient’s mother: Is it hard to use?
Pharmacist: No. First, wash her hair with shampoo, rinse it, and towel dry. Then rub the Nix cream into her hair. Make sure her scalp is fully covered with it, as well as behind the ears and behind her neck. Leave the Nix on for 10 minutes and then rinse. After that, use the louse comb to remove the lice.
Patient’s mother: How long will it be before the lice are gone?
Pharmacist: If after a week she still has lice, repeat the process.
Patient’s mother: Is head lice contagious?
Pharmacist: Yes, it is, so I recommend you and the rest of your family use Nix too, and wash your sheets, pillowcases, and clothes, too.
Patient’s mother: Thank you so much.
