1)
Physicians need for handmaidens
2)

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.
