The process by which patients are helped by someone who is trained to be concerned about them and to aid them in recovering from an illness or an injury, or to regain as much physical independence as possible: Those who are trained in nursing care are often more interested in the patient's overall reactions to the ailment than with the medical problem itself and they are devoted to the control of physical pain, the relief of mental suffering, and, when possible, the avoidance of any complications.
