Answer to Question 1

C
The goal of the Nurses' Associated Alumnae of the United States and Canada (renamed the American Nurses Association in 1912) was to protect the public from untrained nurses by securing legal recognition for trained nurses.
Graduate nurses predominantly worked as private duty nurses up through the early 20th century.
Wages remained low, and working conditions remained long and arduous in hospitals (and seasonal for private duty nurses) until hospitals began hiring more graduate nurses in the 1930s.
Hospital accreditation is a recent phenomenon, unattached to legal recognition for nurses.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 1, 2, 3
The general rule of thumb is to reward in public and reprimand in private, so this counseling session should be held privately. Counseling should be brief and to the point. Counseling sessions should be nonconfrontational and should state the facts as objectively as possible.
