Chapter 1 Evolution of Nursing Thought & Action
Q1.
Which statement best distinguishes nursing as both an art and a science?
A. The art of nursing involves knowledge of anatomy, while the science involves empathy.
B. The science of nursing is based on systematic evidence, while the art is expressed in compassionate care.
C. The art of nursing refers to professional standards, while the science refers to cultural awareness.
D. The art of nursing is derived from research, while the science is intuitive practice.
Answer: B
Rationale: Nursing as a science relies on evidence-based knowledge, theories, and research, while its art is the
humanistic ability to provide empathetic, individualized care. A and C confuse the concepts, and D reverses them.
Q2.
Who is considered the founder of modern professional nursing for establishing sanitation reforms and nursing education?
A. Clara Barton
B. Florence Nightingale
C. Dorothea Dix
D. Lillian Wald
Answer: B
Rationale: Florence Nightingale transformed nursing into a recognized profession by introducing sanitation standards
during the Crimean War and opening the first secular nursing school. Barton founded the Red Cross, Dix reformed
mental health, and Wald pioneered community nursing.
Q3.
In the Middle Ages, nursing primarily declined in reputation because:
A. It was dominated by male physicians.
B. It became associated with religious orders and untrained caretakers.
C. Hospitals were government-funded and controlled.
D. Women were prohibited from caregiving roles.
Answer: B
Rationale: During the Middle Ages, care shifted to nuns and monks, but with the Reformation, religious orders were
dissolved, and nursing was left to untrained, often lower-class women. This led to poor public perception of nursing.
Q4.
The U.S. nursing group responsible for defining the scope of practice and setting professional standards is:
A. International Council of Nurses (ICN)
