X-27. Reading Evaluation

Passage 1
(Questions 1-10)

 The standard procedure for a new patient at a clinic is a clear, multi-step process. First, you must call the clinic to make an appointment. You will speak to a receptionist, who will ask for your personal information and the reason for your visit. They will then find an available time slot for you to see a doctor.

On the day of your appointment, you should arrive 15 minutes early. Then, you must go to the reception desk to “check in.” This is when you give your name and show your insurance card. After that, you will be asked to sit in the waiting room until your name is called.

Next, a nurse will call your name and lead you to an examination room. She will perform some preliminary checks, such as measuring your temperature, weight, and blood pressure. She will also ask you to describe your symptoms, which is the problem you are experiencing (e.g., “I have a cough”).

Following this, the doctor will enter. The doctor will examine you, which may involve using a stethoscope to listen to your heart and lungs. Finally, the doctor will make a diagnosis, which is the identification of your illness. If you need medicine, the doctor will give you a prescription, which is a written order for the pharmacy.

Passage 2 (Questions 11-20)

 Using the ‘HealthApp’ to get medicine from the pharmacy is designed to be a simple, sequential process. First, you must download the app and create an account using your email. After that, you need to upload a photo of your doctor’s prescription. The app uses AI to scan the photo and read the medicine details.

Once the prescription is uploaded, the app will verify the information, which usually takes a few minutes. Then, you will receive a notification that your prescription is approved. You must then select a payment method. You can choose to pay online with a credit card or pay later at the pharmacy.

Next, you choose your delivery option. You can select “Home Delivery” and wait for the medicine, or you can choose “Pick Up” at a pharmacy near you. If you choose “Pick Up,” the app will show you a list of pharmacies. Finally, you confirm your order. You will receive a confirmation code.

If you chose “Pick Up,” go to the pharmacy and show the pharmacist your confirmation code. This is the last step. The app makes the entire process of getting medicine faster and more efficient, as you do not have to wait in line at the pharmacy.
