[Function and role--a study of terminology].
In order to identify what the nursing professors think about the meanings of the words Function and Role, and their use, we elaborated a formulary and applied it at a nursing educational institution of the interior of São Paulo. From the sample of 23 people, we observed that several words are used meaning Function and Role, and sometimes they are also used as synonymous. We also perceived that in the literature reviewed, though some authors express that Role is related to status, to behaviour and Function is activity, atribution.
