Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Early occupational health nursing did not provide care for work-related injuries, but instead fo-cused on the care of employees and their families in the home. Contemporary occupational health nurses provide care for work-related injuries. The focus of both of these professions has been on employee care and the work environment.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Early school nursing focused on investigating causes of absenteeism, not providing medical treatment. That was the responsibility of physicians. Early school nurses did not teach in the schools. Early school nurses did not promote nursing as an autonomous practice.
