Chapter 1. Nursing Past & Present
Multiple Choice
Identify the choice that best completes the statement or answers the question.

____ 1. What is the most influential factor that has shaped the nursing
profession?

1)

Physicians need for handmaidens

2)

Societal need for healthcare outside the home

3)

Military demand for nurses in the field

4)

Germ theory influence on sanitation

ANS: 3

Throughout the centuries, stability of the government has been related to the
success of the military to protect or extend its domain. As the survival and well-
being of soldiers is critical, nurses provided healthcare to the sick and injured at
the battle site. The physicians handmaiden was/is a nursing stereotype rather
than an influence on nursing. Although there has been need for healthcare
outside the home throughout history, this has more influence on the
development of hospitals than on nursing; this need provided one more setting
for nursing work. Germ theory and sanitation helped to improve healthcare but
did not shape nursing.

____ 2. Which of the following is an example of an illness prevention activity?
Select all that apply.

1)

Encouraging the use of a food diary

2)

Joining a cancer support group

3)

Administering immunization for HPV

4)

Teaching a diabetic patient about his diet

ANS: 3

Administering immunization for HPV is an example of illness prevention.
Although cancer is a disease, it is assumed that a person joining a support group
would already have the disease; therefore, this is not disease prevention but
treatment. Illness-prevention activities focus on avoiding a specific disease. A
food diary is a health-promotion activity. Teaching a diabetic patient about diet is
a treatment for diabetes; the patient already has diabetes, so it cannot prevent
diabetes.

immediate impact on improving patients health?

1)

Providing a clean environment

, 2)

Improving nursing education

3)

Changing the delivery of care in hospitals

4)

Establishing nursing as a distinct profession

ANS: 1

Improved sanitation (a clean environment) greatly and immediately reduced the
rate of infection and mortality in hospitals. The other responses are all activities
of Florence Nightingale that improved healthcare or nursing, but the impact is
long range, not immediate.
