What was the centenary theme of the Military Nursing Service?
- A.Service Before Self, Always and Everywhere
- B.Compassion in Uniform, Courage at Heart
- C.Honouring the Past, Healing the Present and Inspiring the Future
- D.A Century of Care for the Nation
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is Honouring the Past, Healing the Present and Inspiring the Future. The centenary events were conducted in keeping with this theme and reaffirmed the service's values of compassion, professional excellence and service to the nation. Options A, B and D are invented slogans built from similar language, and in theme questions the distractors are always constructed this way because the phrasing sounds plausible. A useful habit is to learn a theme in its exact wording rather than in paraphrase, since options often differ from the correct answer only in one word or in the order of the clauses. Note also that the Military Nursing Service supports the Armed Forces Medical Services in war, natural calamity and peacetime.
