Explanation
A nurse is a healthcare professional who takes care of sick, injured, or elderly people. Nurses work in hospitals, clinics, and homes. They help patients by giving medicine, checking health conditions, and providing comfort and support. Nurses often spend more time with patients than doctors and play an important role in recovery. The word nurse can also be used as a verb, meaning to care for or support someone gently, such as nursing a baby or nursing an injury back to health.
