Meaning and Usage

The word 看护 (kānhù) means to look after or care for someone, especially in a medical or caregiving context. It often refers to nursing or providing attentive care to patients, elderly, or those who are ill.

Common Contexts

看护 is commonly used when talking about professional nursing, family caregiving, or any situation where someone is responsible for another person's well-being and health.

Collocations and Patterns

Usage Notes

看护 is more formal and specific than general verbs like 照顾 (zhàogù), which means to look after or take care of in a broader sense. 看护 often implies medical or health-related care. Avoid confusing 看护 with 护理 (hùlǐ), which is more technical nursing care; 看护 can be used more broadly for caregiving by family or professionals.
