Would you please confirm your name and date of birth?  Can you tell me why you are here at Bellin?  I know that you are waiting for your breakfast tray, and it should be up on the floor within the next 15 minutes.  I will bring it in as soon as it is available.  After you are done eating your breakfast I would like to come back to get a set of vital signs.  This means I am going to take your temperature, pulse, measure how fast you are breathing, and take your blood pressure.  It should only take about 10 minutes.  So here is your call light, just press this button and it will let me know that you need assistance.  And again, as soon as your breakfast tray comes up I will bring it in. Thank you for allowing me to care for you.  Is there anything else I can do for you?  I have the time.”
