Answer to Question 1

B
Florence Nightingale was the first to discover the link between hand washing, cleanliness, and adverse patient outcomes. W. Edwards Deming is known for his contribution to continuous performance improvement, and Isabel Hampton Robb was the first president of the American Nurses Association (ANA) and a leading pioneer in nursing education. Dorothea Dix is best known for her patient advocacy, particularly in the areas of improved conditions for jails and mental asylums.

Answer to Question 2

A, B, C
In the information age, it is the development of new knowledge and innovation and its meaningful interpretation and application that becomes the source of transactions for patients and staff. Nursing's transition to the information age is influenced by three key trends. These trends are mobility, virtuality, and user-driven practices.
