j bj bj bj bj bj bj bj bj bj bj bj bj bj bj bj bj


what the physician does?‖ Which response would the nurse provide?
bj bj bj bj bj bj bj bj bj


a. ―The role of the nurse is to administer medications and other treatments prescribed

by your physician.‖ bj bj


b. ―In addition to caring for you while you are sick, the nurses will help you plan to

maintain your health.‖ bj bj


c. ―The nurse‗s job is to collect information and communicate any problems that
bj bj bj bj bj bj bj bj bj bj bj bj

on making should also incorporate current research and research-
