OK, so this is obviously homework. So to get more discussion out of more experienced people here, you have to explain what you already looked up and learned. Then we can help you. Hitting "send" is not research.

No, this is not mean. This is experienced nurses telling you to exercise a skill you will need all your working life, that of continuing learning.
