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
iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv
soldiers is critical, nurses provided healthcare to the sick and injured at the battle
iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv
site. The physicians handmaiden was/is a nursing stereotype rather than an
iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv
influence on nursing. Although there has been need for healthcare outside the home
iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv
throughout history, this has more influence on the development of hospitals than on
iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv
nursing; this need provided one more setting for nursing work. Germ theory and
iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv
sanitation helped to improve healthcare but did not shape nursing.

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

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