The nursing care resulted in a decrease of the death rate of soldiers to 1% from 60%.
The significant achievement from the Crimean War was the decrease in the death rate of British
Soldiers, which went from being as high as 60% to becoming as low as 1%. This was possible
due to the care given by the nurses under the guidance of Florence Nightingale. This was made
possible by providing better living and sanitary conditions for the soldiers. This achievement of
the nurses was appreciated by the servicemen and their families. The first training school for
nurses was opened after the Crimean War and not during.
A 30 year-old client is admitted to the health care facility with back pain. Which statements
should the nurse use while counseling a client with back pain?
A) "Maintain good body posture while sitting."
B) "Don't worry; it will subside with treatment."
C) "Tell me the duration and nature of the pain?"
D) "I will give you a back massage to relieve pain." correct answers A) "Maintain good body
posture while sitting."
Educating the client about body mechanics to prevent back pain is a part of the counseling skill
of the nurse. Giving a back massage is as caring skill; inquiring about the duration and nature of
the pain indicates assessment skills. Telling the patient that pain would subside with treatment
denotes comforting skill.
A nursing student who is completing a clinical placement on a busy hospital unit has learned

based practice allows nurses to:

experienced nurses.
B) Predict the likely outcomes of nursing interventions.
C) Ensure that hospitals will achieve desired quality improvements.
D) Track the consequences of nursing actions in a systemic way. correct answers B) Predict the
likely outcomes of nursing interventions.

predict which nursing interventions are most likely to produce desired outcomes, a process
, referred to as evidence-based practice (EBP). EBP requires the dissemination of knowledge, but
is not the primary goal. It is also not aimed primarily at quality improvement or tracking results,
though each of these is consistent with the principles of EBP.

B) Providing temporary assistance to maximize the clients recovery and rehabilitation
C) Facilitating harmony between the client and her psychosocial environment
D) Protecting the client's identity in order to benefit her physical health. correct answers B)
Providing temporary assistance to maximize the clients recovery and rehabilitation
Henderson proposed that nursing involves temporarily meeting the client's health needs with
knowledge and skills that neither the client nor family members can provide. Promoting
harmony, applying pharmacology, and protecting the client's identity are appropriate actions for
the nurse, but meeting the client's health needs is paramount.
