<span>The first step involved in treatment is the clinical assessment. Through this process, information concerning the patient's family medical and emotional history is assessed. Information concerning the addict's thoughts and behavior or any issues surrounding the drug abused is also addressed, such as questions about the length of abuse, etc. The type of treatment plan is then determined as goals are discussed as well as strategies to reach those goals.

Clinical vocabularies should be <u>defined in every medical text book t</u>o be understood by nurses, medical coders, pharmacists, and physicians in various specialties.

Explanation:

Clinical vocabularies or medical terminologies are universally used by all the healthcare professionals like physicians, surgeons, nurses, physical assistants, pharmacists, etc.

Medical care service is an interconnected service provided by various healthcare professionals and communication between them is very important to provide accurate treatment and care for the patients.

The meaning of each medical or clinical word should be properly understood by these professionals.

Hence, they should be written in universal language and each clinical or medical word should be clearly defined to understand the meaning and to use them appropriately.

Latin-based terminologies (due to its origin from Latin) should be defined properly to understand their meaning. The terms are common to all and not specific to any particular profession. intuitive spellings might misguide the real meaning of the word.
