Health:
a curriculum that instructs students on how to
maintain, safeguard and improve the wellbeing of
a society. Health involves scientist, doctors, nurses,
insurance companies, government agencies,
politicians and of course patients. For
centuries many civilizations developed explanations
for disease on superstition myths and religion.
Recently we rely on enlightened doctors and
scientist to explain disease through science and
research.
They "
Perform head to-to-toe patient assessments: This
includes providing and receiving verbal reports,
preparing and administering medication, documenting
care appropriately, providing emotional support and
patient education,
and delivering culturally competent care that
respects each patient's individual beliefs."
