Which of the following roles is NOT associated with practical nurses in health promotion?

Practical nurses play several important roles in health promotion, including caregiver, teacher, and advocate. However, typically, they are not primarily involved in research activities.

As caregivers, practical nurses provide direct patient care, support patients in managing their health, and help implement wellness strategies. In their teaching role, they educate patients about health maintenance, disease prevention, and how to manage their conditions – that empowers individuals to take control of their health.

As advocates, practical nurses help patients navigate the healthcare system, ensuring they understand their rights and access the necessary resources for their health needs.

In contrast, the role of a researcher generally pertains to professionals engaged in studies and experiments to generate new knowledge in the medical field, which is not a typical function of practical nurses in health promotion. Their focus is more on direct patient interaction and care rather than conducting research. Thus, while each other role directly contributes to promoting health and wellbeing, the researcher role is distinct and not a primary focus for practical nurses.
