Mary Seacole (1805-1881) learned about nursing from her mother in Jamaica, British West Indies. When she learned about the war in the Crimea, she offered to go to the Crimea to tend the soldiers. Lucy Osborne (1835-1891) was a Nightingale-trained nurse who arrived in Australia in 1868 as superintendent of nurses, along with five head nurses, to provide nursing care to patients at the Sydney Hospital. Cecilia Makiwane (1880-1919) became South Africa's first Black African professional nurse in 1908. Loretta C. Ford (1920- ) is credited with founding the first nurse practitioner program in 1965, in collaboration with Dr. Henry K. Silver, a pediatrician. Together, they developed the Public Health Nurse Pediatric Nurse Practitioner program to educate nurses in advanced nursing practice to provide care for children in rural Colorado. Faye G.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 5, 2, 1, 3, 4

In early times beliefs about the cause of disease were imbedded in superstition and magic, so treatment often required magical cures. Important historical findings related to the Egyptian culture included the practice of mummification. Dietary laws were a significant part of the Mosaic Code and provided for the kosher slaughter of animals, as well as the preparation and preservation of animal and plant foods. The use of quarantine as a method to prevent the transmission of communicable diseases, such as leprosy and diphtheria, is recorded in the Bible. Marcella converted her palace into a monastery and encouraged other Roman matrons to join her in caring for the sick poor.
