Correct answer: A

Rationale: A registered nurse is responsible for a group of patients from their admission to their discharge. This responsibility encompasses assessing patient needs, formulating care plans, administering medications, monitoring patient progress, and coordinating with other members of the healthcare team. Choice B is not entirely accurate because, even though nurses often work with nursing aides, the nurses themselves hold the ultimate responsibility for the overall care of the patient. Choices C and D are incorrect as they depict an incomplete and inaccurate representation of a nurse's role, which extends beyond administrative duties and equipment maintenance to primarily focus on direct patient care.

Choice C is incorrect as Muslims generally do not consume meat and dairy together due to religious dietary laws. Choice D is incorrect as providing a low-carb diet on Fridays does not specifically align with the dietary restrictions observed during Ramadan.
