Answer to Question 1

A
The Homans' sign is assessed by slightly bending the patient's knee and sharply dorsiflexing the foot. If the patient feels pain in the calf area of the leg, the test is positive. Compression of the radial and ulnar arteries is a part of the Allen test. Palpation of the femoral arteries and inspection of the lower extremities are parts of the routine physical assessment.

Answer to Question 2

D
Nightingale did not develop a theory of nursing but rather provided the profession with the philosophical basis from which other theories have emerged and developed. She stressed the importance of caring for the ill person rather than caring for the illness. The person was a passive recipient of care and nursing's primary focus was on the manipulation of the person's environment to maintain or achieve a state of health.
