Which of the following is included in the roles of the nurse?

• A. Care Provider
• B. Dietitian
• C. Patient Liaison
• D. Janitor

Answer: (A)

Delivering direct, hands-on patient care is a central duty of nursing. As care providers, nurses assess conditions, administer treatments, monitor responses, assist with daily activities, and communicate with the rest of the health team to keep patients safe and comfortable. That makes care provider the best fit among the options.

The other roles describe responsibilities outside the standard nursing scope: a dietitian specializes in nutrition, which is a separate professional path; a patient liaison isn’t a defined nursing role, though nurses do advocate and communicate with patients; and janitorial tasks fall under housekeeping or environmental services rather than nursing practice.
