What type of care involves caring for the whole person - mind as wells as body?

Heimlich maneuver
Holistic care
Hospice
Hormones

The correct answer is: Holistic care

Holistic care is a comprehensive approach to healthcare that considers the whole person, integrating not just the physical aspects but also emotional, social, spiritual, and psychological elements. This type of care recognizes that every part of a person’s life can influence their overall health and well-being. By focusing on the individual as a complete person rather than just a set of symptoms or medical conditions, holistic care aims to promote balance and wellness in all aspects of life. This can involve various therapeutic modalities, including physical care, emotional support, nutritional guidance, and mindfulness practices, ultimately leading to improved health outcomes and a better quality of life. The other choices do not encompass this all-encompassing approach. While the Heimlich maneuver is focused on a specific emergency response to choking, hospice care primarily addresses end-of-life needs, and hormones refer to biochemical substances in the body that influence various functions but do not represent a holistic approach to treatment.
