Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
They established a district nursing service on the Lower East Side of New York City called the House on Henry Street for all the unemployed and homeless immigrants who needed health care. It later evolved into the Visiting Nurse Association of New York City and helped establish public health nursing in the United States.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Public health's core functions are assurance, assessment, and policy development. Giving testimony regarding legislation directly reflects policy development, which would have a wider impact than the other options, which are more local and narrow in focus.
