“…And, in order for this to happen, the teachers must turn their attention to the teaching in use, in order to increase the number of professionals skilled to work at home. 28 To serve the current demands of the healthcare area, it must be considered that the individual must be holistically assisted, not only as a biological individual. It should be noted that, in the healthcare/nursing work, the care is produced and consumed as it is produced, which makes the professional nurse an extremely important agent to offer a full care in health.…”
