Which of the following is not a duty a nurse would perform? a. nurses provide ongoing care to patients. b. nurses patients recover from conditions. c. nurses patients maintain their health. d. nurses prescribe medicine to their patients.

The correct answer in this case would be D. Nurses prescribe medicine to their patients.

Nurses help the doctor with all activities and maintain the wellbeing of patients when the doctor isn’t actually present, however nurses do not have the ability to prescribe specific medications for patients. They may write out the prescription for the doctor after is it prescribed for the doctor to sign it, but they are not allowed to actually mandate what medication is given to a particular patient in their care.

I hope this helps! :)

D I’m a nurse and we can’t prescribe meds unless you are a nurse practitioner only then can you write certain prescriptions but it still requires a physician signature on the RX
