Description

Interpreter Notes

Interpreters should maintain a formal register and use 'por Rotavirus' instead of 'debido a Rotavirus' to align with Spanish medical terminology guidelines. Be aware that some may use colloquial terms for gastroenteritis, but it is important to stick to the glossary term in clinical contexts to avoid confusion.
