Answer to Question 1

Answer: 3
Explanation: 3. After seeing the effectiveness of the nursing care to his wife, Rathbone conceived of district nursing to improve the overall health of set populations in local districts. Early efforts were not successful, however, until Rathbone solicited Nightingale's help. She made this concept successful. Although district nursing evolved into population nursing and later parish nursing, the original idea was for district nursing as conceived by Rathbone. Home nursing was already done by either trained nurses or by family members.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 2, 5
Explanation: 2. Use of a single school nurse in New York City and the impact of reducing absenteeism resulted in the establishment of school nurses throughout the city. The visiting nurse services of Metropolitan Life Insurance Company were an overwhelming success in decreasing insurance costs for the company. These services were provided on a three-month pilot, and because of its success, the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company extended this program until the 1950s. The formation of the Red Cross had no bearing on population health, but was organized primarily to help people in times of war and disaster. While improving sanitary conditions improved overall health, this was an ongoing process and not a discrete event. Benevolent societies preceded the formal development of population health nursing.
