The decline in the death rate from tuberculosis is a matter of gratification to all health workers. There is a renewed effort under way now for the complete eradication of this disease. What part of the public health nurse will play in this campaign will be largely up to her to determine. With adequate knowledge of the disease, skill in nursing and teaching methods, and a willingness to analyze, evaluate, and improve nursing performances, there is a little doubt that the public health nurse can increase her usefulness to the tuberculosis program.
