[Department of Nursing] "Understanding and explaining are almost the same"

It's hard not only to study for exams, but also to study everyday.When studying nursing, you will come across a lot of technical terms.What do you think the terminology is?

Medical terminology such as medicine, nursing, and pharmacy is particularly difficult and complicated.Medicine is constantly being replaced by new information.

For example, the 19th wave of COVID-4 was replaced by British stocks (alpha stocks), and the spread of the infection was faster than expected, and the response was delayed, and Kansai was facing a crisis of medical collapse.
If you have the knowledge to understand the technical terms, you can understand various things from the published data and take preventive actions safely.

The COVI-19 vaccine is made from m-RNA.

I studied "m-RNA" in biology in junior high school and high school, but can you explain m-RNA well?Technical terminology is difficult even if you learn it at school.If I think about why it is difficult, I think it is because it is necessary to distinguish trivial differences as "differences" by explaining using technical terms.

If you study roughly, you will not be able to understand the detailed differences in technical terms.By using technical terms, you will be able to explain treatment and care that is unique to the patient.Because it is a professional job, it is possible to use technical terms to think about the finer differences and face life correctly.

Even if it is a difficult terminology, you will learn it by using it every day.It may be the same as writing kanji.Also, the more you use it, the more you will become familiar with it, so using technical terms may be the same as practicing riding a bicycle.
After all, what's familiar isn't scary, and what's familiar and familiar becomes usable.Studying to acquire it may take time and effort.However, when I talk to patients, I use technical terms as easy as possible and use common words.This is also to convey correctly in another sense.Once you understand the technical terms, you can say that you have acquired specialized knowledge that allows you to explain accurately, in detail, and in an easy-to-understand manner according to the knowledge and abilities of the other person.
