Nurse's job? Get air supply (6)
I believe the answer is:
triage
'nurse's job?' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'get air supply' is the wordplay.
'supply' indicates anagramming the letters (in a supple way).
'get'+'air'='getair'
'getair' anagrammed gives 'TRIAGE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for triage that I've seen before include "Selection and allocation for medical aid" , "Hospital reception" , "Sorting and allocating aid on the basis of need" , "Assignment of urgency to illnesses" , "Determination of patient priority for treatment" .)
