Hi,

The concepts can be;

  • Learning the name of a patient and using it when attending the patient
  • Educating the patient on importance of self-care
  • Maintaining eye contact, smiling and laughing where appropriate
  • Preserving the dignity of a patient
  • Using the therapeutic touch when attending the patient

Orthodox health care is a system in healthcare practice which involves using drugs, radiations and surgery to treatment of diseases and symptoms.A holistic patient care involves attending a patient in manner that will improve patient relationship and boost his or her psychological, emotional and spiritual well-being.
