Throughout the centuries, stability of the government has been related to the success

of themilitary to protect or extend its domain.As the survival and well-being of soldiers is
n t nt nt nt nt nt nt nt nt nt nt nt nt nt nt nt
critical, nurses provided healthcare to the sick and injured at the battle site. The
nt nt nt n t n t nt nt n t n t n t nt n t n t nt
physicians handmaiden was/is a nursing stereotype rather than an influence on
nt nt n t n t n t n t n t n t n t n t n t
nursing. Although there has been need for healthcare outside the home throughout
n t nt nt n t nt nt n t n t n t nt n t nt
history, this has more influence on the development of hospitals than on nursing; this
nt nt nt nt nt n t nt nt n t nt n t nt nt n t
need provided one more setting for nursing work. Germ theory and sanitation helped

to improve healthcare but did not shape nursing.

nt pw nt
Administering immunization for HPV is an example of illness prevention. Although nt n t n t nt n t nt n t n t nt nt
canceris a disease, it is assumed that a person joining a support group would
nt n t n t n t n t n t n t n t n t n t n t n t n t n t
already have the disease; therefore, this is not disease prevention but treatment.
n t nt n t nt n t n t n t n t n t n t n t n t
Illness- prevention activities focus on avoiding a specific disease. A food diary is a
n t nt n t nt n t n t nt n t n t nt nt n t nt n t
health- promotion activity. Teaching a diabetic patient about diet is a treatment for
n t nt n t nt nt nt n t nt n t n t nt n t n t
diabetes; the patient already has diabetes, so it cannot prevent diabetes.

Asubstantial portion of the nursing role involves using clinical judgment, critical thinking,
nt nt nt nt nt nt nt nt nt nt nt nt
and problem solving, which directly affect the care the client will actually receive.
nt nt nt nt nt nt nt nt nt nt nt nt nt
Providing hands-on care is important; however, clinical judgment, critical thinking, and
nt nt nt nt nt nt nt nt nt nt n t
problem solving are essential to do it successfully. Carrying out physician
n t n t n t n t n t n t n t n t n t n t nt
orders is a small part of a nurses role; it, too, requires nursing assessment, planning,
nt nt nt n t nt nt nt n t nt nt nt nt nt nt nt
intervention, and evaluation. Many simple nursing tasks are being delegated to
nt n t nt n t nt n t nt n t n t n t nt
nursing assistive personnel; delegation requires careful analysis of patient status and the
n t nt nt nt nt nt nt nt nt nt nt nt
appropriateness of support personnel to deliver care.Another way to analyze this question
nt nt nt nt nt nt nt nt nt nt nt nt nt
is that none of the options of providing hands-on care, carrying out
n t n t n t n t n t n t n t n t n t n t n t n t
physician orders, and delegating to assistive personnel is required for the
nt nt n t n t n t n t n t n t n t n t n t
nurse to think and reason about a clients care; so the answer must be 1.
