Feedback
1 The physician's handmaiden was/is a nursing stereotype rather than an influence
on nursing.

history, this has more influNence on the development of hospitals than on
nursing; this need provided one more setting for nursing work.
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 are both critical, nurses provided healthcare to the sick
and injured at the battle site.

nursing.

would already have the disease; therefore, this is not disease prevention but
treatment.
3 Administering immunization for HPV is an example of illness prevention.
4 Teaching a diabetic patient about diet is a treatment for diabetes; the patient
already has diabetes, so it cannot prevent diabetes.
