Answer to Question 1

Answer: 4
Explanation: 4. Though the care was given by upper class women to those who needed nursing care, the Ladies' Benevolent Society of Charleston was notable in that its services were nondenominational and nondiscriminatory in a region and time where racial discrimination was the prevailing behavior. Payment for services was not a hallmark of the Ladies' Benevolent Society. Services to the Jewish Community were organized in Philadelphia in 1819 by Rebecca Gratz. There were no restrictions to the people whom the Ladies' Benevolent Society provided nursing care.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 1, 3, 5
Explanation: 1. The Egyptians, Romans, and Aztecs were all known to emphasize the importance of clean water supplies. Other civilizations developed some measures to protect their water supplies but not quite to the extent of the Egyptians, Romans, and Aztecs.
