dedicated\ to\ care\ of\ the\ sick\ and\ later\ in\ the\ home\ by\ female\ caregivers\ with\ no\ formal\

of\ professional\ nursing\ and\ the\ need\ for\ formal\ education.

communication\ is\ unique.\ Only\ human\ beings\ have\ large\ vocabularies\ and\ are\ capable\ of\
learning\ new\ languages\ as\ a\ means\ of\ sharing\ their\ ideas\ and\ feelings.\ Communication\
includes\ language,\ gestures,\ and\ symbols\ to\ convey\ intended\ meaning,\ exchange\ ideas\ and\
feelings,\ and\ to\ share\ significant\ life\ experience.\ To\ encode\ a\ message\ appropriately\ requires\
a\ clear\ understanding\ of\ the\ receiver’s\ mental\ frame\ of\ reference\ (e.g.,\ feelings,\ personal\
agendas,\ past\ experiences)\ and\ knowledge\ of\ its\ purpose\ or\ intent\ of\ the\ communication.
