Answer to Question 1

ANS: 1, 2, 3
In the early days of nursing, physicians were seen as leaders, and they made all decisions. Nurse's jobs were considered the helper to the physician and led to oppressed nursing behavior. When nurses went to school they were taught to follow all physicians' orders without question, leading to the oppression of nurses' own thoughts.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 3
Labeling and stereotyping is likely to strip the CNA of all motivation and she will stop trying to improve.
