Chapter 1 Evolution of Nursing Thought & Action
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
ANSWER: 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
ANSWER: 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.

3. Which of the following contributions of Florence Nightingale had an 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
ANSWER: 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.

4. All of the following are aspects of the full-spectrum nursing role. Which one is essential for
the nurse to do in order to successfully carry out all the others?
1) Thinking and reasoning about the clients care
2) Providing hands-on client care
3) Carrying out physician orders
4) Delegating to assistive personnel
ANSWER: 1
A substantial portion of the nursing role involves using clinical judgment, critical thinking, and
problem solving, which directly affect the care the client will actually receive. Providing hands-on
care is important; however, clinical judgment, critical thinking, and problem solving are essential to
do it successfully. Carrying out physician orders is a small part of a nurses role; it, too, requires
nursing assessment, planning, intervention, and evaluation. Many simple nursing tasks are being
delegated to nursing assistive personnel; delegation requires careful analysis of patient status and
the appropriateness of support personnel to deliver care. Another way to analyze this question is
that none of the options of providing hands-on care, carrying out physician orders, and delegating
to assistive personnel is required for the nurse to think and reason about a clients care; so the
answer must be 1.
