Which of the following is NOT listed among hospital nursing roles?

• A. Charge nurse
• B. Public health nurse
• C. Staff nurse
• D. Educator

Answer: (B)

This question tests where different nursing roles are typically practiced. In a hospital, common roles include the charge nurse, who leads the unit and coordinates care on a shift; the staff nurse, who provides direct patient care; and the educator, who trains and supports ongoing staff development within the hospital. A public health nurse, on the other hand, works mainly in community settings or public health departments, focusing on population-based prevention, immunizations, health education, and disease surveillance rather than direct inpatient care. While hospitals may collaborate with public health nurses, this role is not a standard hospital nursing position, which is why it is not listed among hospital roles.
