Answer to Question 1

B
Nightingale was directly inspired by nursing practice.
Nightingale's conceptualization clearly differentiated the role of nursing from that of medicine.
Clean patient areas, fresh air, and light were important environmental factors needed to promote health and healing.
Nursing practice shifted from the disease process to environments conducive to healing.

Answer to Question 2

B
U-500 insulin is five times as strong as U-100 insulin. Therefore the amount of U-500 insulin should be divided by five (30 units of U-500 insulin  5 = 6 units of insulin to draw into a U-100 syringe).
5 U is the incorrect dosage.
10 U is the incorrect dosage.
30 U is the incorrect dosage.
