Patient
Definition:
The person living with an acute, chronic, or advanced illness
The term patient, as opposed to client, is used in recognition
of the individual's potential vulnerability at any time during the illness.
The word patient derives from the Latin patiens: to suffer,
to undergo, to bear.
The patient is a contributing member of the care team.
