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

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

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

II II II II II II II II II II II II II II II
Healthcare is constantly changing and with it come changes in where, how, and what

II II II II II II II II II II II II II
