Spitex
I could figure them out myself, they are probably not all that difficult to research. However, I am a bit pushed for time this week.
Here in this nursing care course-related website translation it says:
DECH: Das Praktikum absolvieren Sie in einer Institution des Gesundheitswesens, in einer ***Spitex*** oder in einem ***Betreuungsdienst***.
In the translation it says:
EN:
... or in the context of ***home care*** or a ***follow-up service***.
Thank you so much for your input on the matter.
Cheers,

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Kontextübersetzung:
You will complete the internship in a health care institution, in a ***outpatient care*** or in a ***care service***.
Die Bezeichnung Spitex, Abkürzung für «spitalexterne Hilfe und Pflege», ist eine im deutschschweizerischen Sprachraum verwendete allgemeine Bezeichnung für die Hilfe und Pflege zu Hause. Es entspricht dem Begriff ambulante Pflege in Deutschland.
https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spitex
outpatient care [MED.] ambulante Pflege
https://dict.leo.org/englisch-deutsch/ambulante Pflege
Ich würde nicht auf die schweizerische Abkürzung "Spitex" verzichten, weil der englische Begriff "ambulante care" sich zwar gut zum Übersetzen eignet, aber aufgrund nationaler Besonderheiten 100%ig deckungsgleich sein kann. Die Übersetzung gehört aber auf jeden Fall dazu, am besten in Klammern dahinter. Alternativ dazu kann das auch in einem Kommentar oder einer Fußnote erklärt werden.
