Usage notes

Common mistakes

Do not confuse 护士 (hùshi) with 护卫 (hùwèi, bodyguard). Their pronunciations and meanings differ completely.

Formality

护士 is neutral; for formal contexts or titles, combine with family name + 护士 (e.g., 王护士). The colloquial term 小护士 can sound affectionate but may be condescending.
