Kahlest was young Worf's {ghojmoq} on Khitomer when it was attacked by the 
Romulans. (TNG "Sins of the Father")

For a medical nurse, use {rachwI'}:

   Another word sometimes applied to the person a Federation
   patient might refer to as a "nurse" is {rachwI'}. The verb
   {rach} has been translated variously as "invigorate",
   "fortify", and "strengthen". Thus {rachwI'} [...] is an
   "invigorator, fortifier, strengthener".  (st.klingon 10/98)
