Hi, need to submit a 2000 words paper on the topic Holistic Nursing Care. Through the provision of these care plans these older adults will develop a sense of ownership which is important to reduce absenteeism and hospital admission as well as prevent further harm to their health.

Upper Respiratory Infection or URI is a viral infection which infects the chest and the head which directly affects the nose, throat, sinuses and ears. Aside from that, it can also affect a person's tube that connects your middle ear and throat, and your windpipe, voice box and airways. Respiratory illness is one of the most common chronic health problems. There has been a significant world-wide increase in morbidity and mortality rates from asthma (Gottlieb et al. 1995). Respiratory illness causes a substantial financial burden on the health care system. In addition to medical costs, the personal suffering and productivity lost due to illness have societal costs as well. (Thompson)

A patient with Upper respiratory infection is observed to have sore throat, sneezing, runny nose, and nasal congestion as well as cough, watery eyes, ear congestion and slight fever.
