Professional role overlap cannot be denied; however, nursing is unique in its focus on and

define the professional responsibilities of its members but rather utilizes their unique skills to
w w w w w w w w w w w w w w
provide holistic care. Ideally, all team members support each other and have functions within the
w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w
team.
