Answer to Question 1

Rationale 1: Florence Nightingale used the research process as an entity and did not merely use some aspects of the research process. She used this systematic approach and its resultant findings to change nursing practice.
Rationale 2: Only in recent years have nurses concentrated on establishing a unique body of nursing knowledge. This has occurred in the years since Nightingale.
Rationale 3: Although Nightingale did begin systematically making and recording data, it was her admonishment that all nurses do the same that began to change nursing.
Rationale 4: Whereas Nightingale used observations to influence practice in her sphere of control, it is unclear how widely she was able to disseminate the information.
