Nursing

20 Health care terms

This is only a second choice. The glossary is related to health care field and nursing. A lot of the words are same from the paramedic. It can be hard to understand some of them which are key/important words, so this glossary will help to not get lost and confuse when I am explaning about nursing. I found most of the definition from wikipedia. I did not do research that far.
