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
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.
PTS: 1 DIF: Moderate REF: p. 18; high-level question, not directly stated in text KEY:

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