ANS: B
This statement clearly specifies the nurse's purpose as a helping professional, and establishes the relationship as therapeutic, rather than social. The nurse has independent functions and does not work exclusively with the doctor. Identifying only medication overlooks the con-tributions of staff and the therapeutic milieu. Giving information is appropriate, but this statement does not define the nurse's role as resource.
