Reflective Essay Name: Institution: Course code: Date: Three values or beliefs to consider in creating an optimal patient or client’s health care experience. Physical wellbeing Anyone who comes to the hospital or is brought to a health facility is likely to be suffering physically.

The intervention and medical procedures administered to the client are meant to relieve that pain and restore the normal functioning of the body.
