Answer 1

C. Nurses can carry out some duties of a physician during a public health crisis in some states when there is a shortage of qualified medical personnel

why i choose this answer means as per ethical it is a mistake but if its an emergency situation nurses can help to the physician. Because they also having much awareness about the conditions and also nurses also studied all the surgery procedure with only theory knowledge. So what I'm trying to say nurses also can help during the emergency period. They treated the patients with medical care. They clean the wound with the emergency management. I stated that I'm not saying every time they need to help with the physician only the emergency situation with shortages of physicians. They can also treat our ultimate aim is we should recover the patient.
