Answer 1

Ans) 1) One of the most critical roles that nurses have in health promotion and disease preventions is that of an educator. Nurses spend the most time with the patients and provide anticipatory guidance about immunizations, nutrition, dietary, medications, and safety.

- Nurses have initiated health promotion programs or have participated with other personnel to provide wellness services. Nurses have the responsibility to promote activities that foster well-being, self-actualization, and personal fulfillment.

2) The superscription includes the date the prescription order is written; the name, address, weight, and age of the patient; and the Rx (Take). The body of the prescription, or inscription, contains the name and amount or strength of the drug to be dispensed, or the name and strength of each ingredient to be compounded.

3) Some of the things nurses can do to advance patient education include: Delegate more responsibilities to support staff and be more focused on patient education. Begin educating patients with every encounter from admission. Find out what the patient already knows. Feed patients information in layman's terms.
