A specialty focused only on postoperative patients C. Comprehensive care of adults with actual or potential health problems D. Care provided only under physician direction CORRECT ANSWER - C Rationale: Medical-surgical nursing involves comprehensive, patient-centred care across settings for adults with acute, chronic, or potential health problems, not limited to hospitals or postoperative care. 2. A nurse caring for multiple patients must prioritize actions. Which concept best guides this decision-making? A. Task orientation B. Clinical judgment C. Institutional routine D.
