survival and well-being of soldiers are both critical, nurses provided
healthcare to the sick

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

1 A substantial portion of the nursing role involves using clinical judgment,
critical thinking, and problem solving, which directly affect the care the
client will actually receive.
2 Providing hands-on care is important; however, clinical judgment, critical
thinking, and problem-solving are essential to do it successfully.
3 Carrying out physician orders is a small part of a nurse’s role; it, too, requires
nursing assessment, planning, intervention, and evaluation.
4 Many simple nursing tasks are being delegated to nursing assistive
personnel; delegation requires careful analysis of patient status and the
appropriateness of
support personnel to deliver care.
