Adams and Miller's wheel of professionalism base is...?

The central idea is that professionalism in Adams and Miller’s view starts with formal education in a university setting. This education provides the foundational knowledge, critical thinking, and professional socialization that shape a nurse’s identities, values, and skills. With that solid base, other aspects of professionalism—such as adhering to ethical standards, communicating effectively, engaging in scholarship, and contributing to the community—develop as outward expressions of that training. In short, university-level education builds the core on which ethical practice, communication, and service are built. The other options describe important professional qualities or activities, but they arise from the solid educational foundation rather than serving as the base itself.
