Making _______ match is important for effective communication with patients.

andre [41]

Answer:

Health is the correct answer to this question.

Explanation:

Health match is an effective communication with the patients because health care is the most prior for any doctor to build up a good relationship with the patients.

By taking a health care as a major issue for the doctors leads to very important communication with the patients.
This builds up the trust of any patient on the doctor and they can share their problems and improvements freely and easily with the doctors.
Thus they feel relaxed to have an open communication with their doctor.

The nurse caring for a client with a large leg wound notes that the client's past medical history includes diabetes, chronic atr

marusya05 [52]

I would say diabetes because when you're diabetic you have an elevated amount of glucose. Which causes the narrowing of blood vessels and stiffening in arteries and a decrease in the function of red blood cells. which would mean that white blood cells don't do their job, and fight infection. so with all of this, blood and oxygen flow to the wound are decreased. So the wound can not receive proper attention from the body because it doesn't have enough nutrients or oxygen to heal.
