C. increased funds courtesy of donations from families
D. college-based education and training of

which dropped to 1% due to the nursing care provided. The nurses improved
the ventilation, nutritional, and sanitary conditions of the soldiers, leading to

The families and the soldiers donated funds after the war, not during the war,
through which an organized education and training facility for nurses was
started.
