Nurse

Nurse Qu : ‘Describe the Role of the Nurse in Caring for Others’ This assignment is looking at the role of the nurse within the community setting. We must first distinguish what the question means. When looking at the question I can pick out 3 major key words. These are Role, Nurse and Caring. The first word is role. The Chambers dictionary definition is ‘ a part played in life, business, etc; a persons function’. The definition for nurse is ‘ a person who looks after sick or injured people, esp. in hospital’ and the definition for care is ‘ attention and thoroughness / the activity of looking after someone or some thing , or the state of being looked after’. The question can now be re-written as ‘ Describe the part played in life of the person who looks after sick or injured people, in the activity of looking after others with attention and thoroughness’. This question now seems to overlap other parts of the question as shown by ‘ the person who looks after sick or injured people’ and ‘the activity of looking after others with atte! ntion and thoroughness’.
