Multiple Choice Questions
Chapter 1: The Profession of Nursing
1. Which historical figure is credited with establishing nursing as a formal profession based on
education and evidence?
A) Clara Barton
B) Florence Nightingale
C) Dorothea Dix
D) Mary Seacole
Answer: B
Rationale: Florence Nightingale is recognized as the founder of modern nursing. She established the first
formal nursing school at St. Thomas' Hospital in London in 1860 and emphasized the importance of
sanitation, observation, and evidence-based care. While Clara Barton founded the American Red Cross,
Dorothea Dix advocated for the mentally ill, and Mary Seacole provided care during the Crimean War,
Nightingale's contributions to nursing education and professionalization are unparalleled.
2. A nursing student asks the instructor, "What is the primary purpose of a professional nursing
organization such as the American Nurses Association (ANA)?" Which response is most accurate?
A) "To provide malpractice insurance to all registered nurses"
B) "To regulate nursing licensure in each state"
C) "To establish standards of practice and advocate for the profession"
D) "To accredit all nursing schools in the United States"
Answer: C
Rationale: The ANA's primary functions include establishing standards of nursing practice, developing
the Code of Ethics, and advocating for nurses and the public. Licensure is regulated by state boards of
nursing, accreditation is handled by bodies such as ACEN or CCNE, and malpractice insurance is provided
by private insurers.
3. Which document serves as the cornerstone for ethical nursing practice and outlines the profession's
fundamental values and commitments?
