Which of the following is included as an interrelated role of nurses?

• A. Caregiver
• B. Administrator
• C. Analyst
• D. Mediator

Answer: (A)

Nurses take on several interrelated roles, but the core function involves being a caregiver. This means providing direct, holistic care that meets physical, emotional, and comfort needs while partnering with patients and families. It covers activities like monitoring and assisting with daily needs, managing symptoms, offering reassurance, and supporting education and advocacy. Other roles—such as administrator (managing resources), analyst (interpreting data), or mediator (facilitating communication)—exist within nursing, but the caregiver role is the most central to patient-facing care and well-being.
