i dont think there are any real "literal" translations of really anything.   
we correlate one name in any peticular language with a name in another 
language for an item of similar charactristics.  What the Klingons may refer 
to as a "nurse"  or a "rachwI' "
may be similar to our nurse but not exactly.  Even on Terra, we have 
different nurses doing different job discriptions and compleatly different 
roles in compleatly different environments.  It's the similar characteristics 
they share that makes them a nurse.  The name should change only when 
specifing the job.  rachwI' in general; QelHom in specific.  or what ever 
your specification may be, puq QelHom what have you.
