照顾 (zhào gù) means to take care of or look after. 照 suggests attending to something and 顾 means to look back at or care for. It describes nurturing, tending, or watching over people who need help (老人, elderly; 孩子, children; 病人, sick people). A fixed parting phrase is 请多照顾 (please take good care), similar to look after yourself. It can also mean to consider or favour someone (照顾面子, to spare someone's feelings/face).
