UNIT 1: HOW NURSES THINK
CHAPTER 1: Evolution of Nursing Thought & Action
1. Florence Nightingale is most recognized for which contribution to nursing?
A) Developing the first nursing theory based on psychosocial needs
B) Establishing nursing education and emphasizing sanitary conditions
C) Creating the first nurse practice act in the United States
D) Founding the American Nurses Association
Answer: B
Rationale: Florence Nightingale is credited with establishing formal nursing education at St. Thomas'
Hospital in London and emphasizing the importance of sanitation, hygiene, and environmental factors in
patient recovery. Her work during the Crimean War demonstrated that improved sanitary conditions
dramatically reduced mortality. Option A is incorrect because Nightingale's focus was on environmental
theory, not psychosocial needs. Option C is incorrect because nurse practice acts were legislative
developments not attributed to Nightingale. Option D is incorrect because the ANA was founded by a
group of nurses in 1896.
