Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 4

Nurses are valuable because they have more direct contact with clients and families than any other discipline. They do not have any more time than others to work on committees. Nursing salaries are higher than many disciplines. Although nurses can make quick decisions, this is not a quality that is beneficial in an ethics committee.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1

Clara Maass allowed herself to be bitten by a mosquito to prove the theory that mosquitoes carried yellow fever. She developed a mild case of the disease, allowed herself to be bitten a second time, developed a more severe case, and died. Jeanne Mance was the founder of the Hotel Dieu hospital in Montreal, Canada, and is credited with being the first lay nurse in North America. Mary Mahoney is considered to be America's first African American professional nurse. Edith Cavell was a nurse during World War I and was executed after being charged by the Germans with harboring British and French soldiers and aiding them in escape.
