You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Draw two overlapping circles. Don't draw one circle within another. Now label these circles as "Nurse" and "Patient". Since it is perfectly possible to place Tracey in the "Nurse" circle, but NOT in the "Patient" circle, this means that the conclusion is false.
