How to Be a Nurse The physicians in a hospital form the core of the medical staff. But they could not provide effective medical care to their patients without the help of numerous other medical employees. From the view point of the patients, the nursing staff is particularly important. Nurses are usually in close contact with patients as long as they are in the hospital. A nurse does not study for as many years as a doctor. However each must be equally dedicated. Caring for sick persons requires a great deal of patience and concern. Most nurses work long days, and they often must work at odd hours or during the night. Under the supervision of the head nurse, the nursing staff must provide nursing services on a 24-hour basis and attend to patients’ needs. This responsibility continues around the clock, and so nurses must work in shifts. A shift is a period of duty usually eight in length. The nurses on the ward rotate their shifts. Some take turns working night duty; others work odd shifts. All of them work out of a central area on the ward called the nurses’ station. A nurse must always be alert. She can never afford to be careless. This is true in all nursing situation, but it is especially true in the intensive care unit. Patients under intensive care are critically ill, and they must be monitored at all times. The nurses who do intensive care duty have one of the most demanding jobs in the hospital. Serving as a nurse can be a very rewarding job. But it is not an easy one. Not every person is suited to become a nurse. Only very dedicated people have chosen nursing as a profession. Why don’t nurses study for as many years as doctors?

A:Most nurses work long days. B:They don’t treat patients for illness and injury. C:Caring for sick patients requires patience and concern. D:They are not dedicated.

Many Children’s Deaths Preventable: WHO
Over five million children die each year from disease, infections and accidents related (1) their environment although many of these deaths are largely preventable, says the World Health Organization.
On Monday, the WHO asked governments and citizens around the world to take action to create healthy (2) for children as it celebrated World Health Day.
"The biggest threats to children’s health lurk (潜藏) in the very (3) that should be safest - home, school and community, said Dr. Gro Harlem Brundtland, director-general of the WHO at the day’s launch in New Delhi, India.
"Every child has the right to (4) up in a healthy home, school and community. The future development of our children — and of their world — depends on (5) enjoying good health now. We have their future in our (6). Now we must work more effectively together to (7) the risks from the environment which our children face," Brundtland said.
This year’s theme, "Healthy Environments for Children" focuses on the many dangers (8) by children in and around the places where they live and play.
These include inadequate access to safe (9) water and sanitation (卫生设备), insect-borne diseases, air pollution, chemical hazards and injuries from traffic, falls, burns and drownings.
Communities around the world organized events to promote awareness of children’s health issues, (10) included drawing contests for schoolchildren in Vietnam, street plays in India, puppet (木偶) shows in Namibia and professional lectures for policy makers in Germany and elsewhere.
Activities also took (11) in cities across Canada on Monday, including Calgary, Montreal, Halifax and Ottawa.
Although children under five represent only 10 per cent of the world’s population, they bear 40 per cent of the global disease (12), says the WHO. And as much as one-third of the total burden of disease may be caused by environmental (13).
World Health Day has been celebrated on April 7^th (14) 1950. Each year the WHO chooses a theme to highlight areas of particular concern. Last year’s (15), Move for Health, focuses on promoting physical activity as part of healthy living.

Most people say that the USA is making progress in fighting AIDS,but they don’t know there’s no cure and strongly disagree that"the AIDS epidemic(流行)is over,"a new survey finds.
The findings, released Thursday by the Kaiser Family Foundation, reassure activists who have worried that public concern about AIDS might disappear in light of recent news about advances in treatment and declines in deaths.
"While people are very optimistic about the advances, they’ re still realistic about the fact that there is no cure",says Sophia Chang,director of HIV programs at the foundation.
The Kaiser survey,like a recent USA TODAY Gallup Poll(民意测验),does find that the number of people ranking AIDS as the country’s top health problem has fallen. In the Kaiser poll,38% say it’s the top concern,down from 44% in a 1996 poll;in the Oallup Poll, 29% say AIDS is No. 1,down from 41%in 1992 and 67% in 1987.
Other findings from Kaiser, which polled more than 1,200 adults in September and October and asked additional questions of another 1,000 adults in November:
52% say the country is making progress against AIDS,up from 32% in 1995.
51% say the government spends too little on AIDS.
86% correctly say AIDS drugs can now lengthen lives; an equal number correctly say that the drugs are not cures.
67% incorrectly say that AIDS deaths increased or stayed the same in the past year;24% know deaths fell.
Daniel Zingale,director of AIDS Action Council,says,"I’m encouraged that the American people are getting the message that the AIDS epidemic isn’t over. I hope the decision-makers in Washington are getting the same message... We have seen signs of complacency(得意). /
More than 50o% people in the Kaiser poll agree that

A:advances in AIDS treatment are too slow. B:AIDS is their top concern. C:the country spends too little on AIDS. D:AIDS deaths fell sharply.
