Treatment of Disease, Disorder, or Injury
Medical or therapeutic interventions provided to diagnose, manage, or cure health conditions (e.g., diabetes, stroke recovery, post-operative care). Includes medication administration, wound care, physiotherapy, and specialist nursing. Various sort of treatments include:
- Medication administration (e.g., insulin for diabetes, antibiotics for infections).
- Wound care & post-surgery recovery (e.g., dressing changes, physiotherapy).
- Rehabilitation therapies (e.g., stroke recovery exercises, speech therapy).
- Mental health treatments (e.g., CBT for anxiety, medication for depression).
- Chronic disease management (e.g., dialysis for kidney failure, asthma control).
These differ from personal care and focus on clinical treatment rather than daily living support. The main goal is to restore health, prevent complications, and improve quality of life.
