GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
English term or phrase:clipping (vs shaving)
Dutch translation:knippen (vs. scheren)

English to Dutch translations [PRO]
Medical - Medical (general) / elektrodes aanbrengen
English term or phrase: clipping (vs shaving)
Voorbereiden van de huid, voordat daarop elektrodes worden aangebracht:
"Remove excess chest hair.
Clip if necessary to maximize gel to skin contact.
Clipping is recommended since shaving can leave tiny microabrasions that can lead to patient discomfort during pacing."
Meestal wordt met "clipping" scheren bedoeld, hier duidelijk niet. Wordt hier gewoon knippen bedoeld?

knippen (vs. scheren)
Explanation:
Ja, volgens mij bedoelen ze knippen. Doe ik dagelijks, niet om elektroden te plaatsen maar om m'n ruige borstharen 'n beetje in toom te houden ;-)

Maar effe serieus, Titia: 'bijknippen' is misschien ook een optie.

Bedankt Jack! Ook de anderen bedankt. Je kunt zoiets wel gokken maar het is toch wat slordig als ze dan eigenlijk iets anders bedoelden... ;)
