"Nurse" suggests attendance and service; its antonym is neglect (зневага).

Legal definitions in nurse practice acts exist to protect the public and to protect the title. Legal definitions in nurse practice acts exist to protect the public and to protect the title. North Carolina was the first state to pass a licensing law (1903), and it was intended to protect the title, not to define the practice. The early statutes were certification laws, permissive rather than mandatory, and in general permitted anyone to perform legally the functions of a nurse, even for compensation, but only those who were licensed could use the RN title (Hadley, 1989).

Inclusion... of the diagnostic function would authorize the nursing practitioner to make nursing diagnoses, not medical diagnoses. Whereas the diagnostic function as an intellectual process is central to the practice of any number of professions, including medicine and nursing, the focus of this function varies among these professions. For example, the focus in medicine is the nature and degree of pathology or deviaion from normality; within nursing the focus is the individal's response to an actual or potential health problem and the nursing needs arising from such responses.
