Solution

The statement that is not true about the role of the nurse in acute infectious respiratory conditions is:

a. Commence CPR immediately

This is because CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation) is not always the immediate response in cases of acute infectious respiratory conditions. It is only necessary when a patient is not breathing or has no pulse. The nurse's role would typically involve assessing the patient's condition, providing necessary care, and monitoring the patient's progress. The other options (b, c, d, e) are all valid roles of a nurse in such conditions.
