Choose the sentence in this excerpt that explains why there is a physical requirement for
nursing assistants.
(Nursing assistants must be strong. They spend much of their day on their feet, and
they must be able to move or turn patients of any size. They must also be friendly, gentie,
and have patience. In many healthcare settings, a nursing assistant is the primary
caregiver to a patient. In long-term care settings, such as nursing homes for the elderly, a
nursing assistant may develop close relationships with the patients they care for on a daily
