b. present nurses in roles that indicate they are handmaidens to physicians.
c. recognize nursing as one of the largest, most trusted groups in health care.
d. show nurses as decision makers, coordinators of care, and primary care providers inhealth care.

Further teaching is needed when students indicate that the media should present nurses in roles that are
stereotypical. Some stereotypical roles would include nurses being subservient to physicians. The
media can best support nursing by acknowledging the anticipated nursing shortage, recognizing that
nursing is one of the largest, most trusted groups in health care, and showing nurses as competent
health care providers.
