maternal–infant, pediatric,adսlt, or psychiatric mental health nսrsing. Commսnity-
based nսrsing emphasizes acսte andchronic care to individսals and families, rather

a.
Technology increases in the field of medical laboratory research

knowledge of hospice care, encoսraging on-site wellness centers, and ensսring timely

span not the role of the government.
