Acute and chronic illnesses poses a great problem in the primary health care. Acute
illnesses are conditions that are localized in one area of the body while chronic illnesses involve
a number of organs in the body and their prognosis is usually very low. The health care system is
slow to adapt to management of acute illnesses as they are more severe and require specific
resources for treatment (Adams, Hendershot & Marano, 2017). Nurses play a vital role in the
