Why are nurses often requested to teach community classes?
1. Nurses usually donate their time to these events.
2. Twelve-hour shifts allow plenty of spare time for such work.
3. Nurses are respected by the public.
4. Physicians don't like to teach laypeople.
Correct Answer: 3
Nurses are respected by the public and are knowledgeable about healthcare matters. This places nurses in a position to provide information in community settings. They do not necessarily donate their time and often have little spare time. Whether nurses teach has nothing to do with physicians' desire to teach.
