Respiratory care includes the assessment, treatment, management, control, diagnostic
n8 n8 n8 n8 n8 n8 n8 n8
evaluation, education, and care of patients with deficiencies and abnormalities of the
n8 n8 n8 n8 n8 n8 n8 n8 n8 n8 n8 n8
cardiopulmonary system. Respiratory care is increasingly involved in the prevention of
n8 n8 n8 n8 n8 n8 n8 n8 n8 n8 n8
respiratory disease, the management of patients with chronic disease, and promotion
n8 n8 n8 n8 n8 n8 n8 n8 n8 n8 n8
of health and wellness.
