Which 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 Chapter number and title: 1, Nursing Past & Present Chapter learning objective: Define nursing in your own words. Chapter page reference: p. 7 Heading: Historical Context of Nursing Integrated Processes: Teaching and Learning Client Need: Safe and Effective Care Environment: Management of Care Cognitive level: Comprehension [Understanding] Concept: Professionalism Difficulty: Easy Feedback 1 The physician's handmaiden was/is a nursing stereotype rather than an influence on nursing. 2 Although there has been a 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. 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 are both critical, nurses provided healthcare to the sick and injured at the battle site. 4 Germ theory and sanitation helped to improve healthcare but did not shape nursing.

Chapter page reference: p. 8 Heading: How Is Nursing Defined? Integrated Processes: Caring Client Need: Safe and Effective Care Environment: Management of Care Cognitive level: Analysis [Analyzing] Concept: Professionalism Difficulty: Difficult Feedback 1 The conflicting images of nursing make it more important to develop a definition; they may also make it more difficult but not to the extent that constant change does. 2 Healthcare is constantly changing and with it come changes in where, how, and what nursing care is delivered. Constant changes make it difficult to develop a definition. 3 Although different nursing organizations have different definitions, they are similar in most ways. 4 The different education pathways affect entry into practice, not the definition of nursing.
