Passive can have a function that supports professional distance. The USA Email List active verb description of the caregiver's own activities might make the text stylistically different, even unsuitable for a recording environment. In my opinion, the alternation of active and passive also has important tasks related to the transmission of information and argumentation: they can be used to convey quite subtle messages.

Nurses mainly use active to emphasize and justify their own actions or to reinforce their message: 10) – – . I tried to explain what the medicine was prescribed for, but I don't know if he understood. 11) – – . Says he has already ordered a private doctor – – . I asked to cancel it, it's better that the home care doctor goes, that way they know what medicines have been prescribed.
