Caregiver:
The care afforded depends on the needs and requirements of a patient. Patients are at different stages of illness, thus, some need more attention and care than others.
This might include total care which entails doing everything for the patient.
The care might also entail helping a patient with the prevention of an illness. Furthermore, nurses have an obligation to care for a patient holistically.
Holistic care implies that a whole person is more important than the sum of their parts. This means that care ought to address cultural, spiritual, and mental needs concurrently.
