Answer to Question 1

Answer: 2
Explanation: 2. Dorothea Dix was a social reformer who did much to improve the conditions of people with mental illness in institutions throughout the nation. Clara Barton was instrumental in the establishment of the Red Cross of the United States of America. Harriet Tubman, a former slave who functioned as a nurse during the Civil War, is probably best known for her activities with the Underground Railroad in bringing approximately 300 former slaves to freedom in the north. Sojourner Truth was an African American who served during the Civil War and then for the Freedman's Relief Association during reconstruction.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 4
Explanation: 4. The health-for-all concept was further developed in the World Health Organization's (WHO) Global Strategies for Health for All by the Year 2000, published in 1981, and the Ottawa Charter for Health Promotion, developed at the First International Conference on Health Promotion in 1986. Both focused on social, economic, and political reform and empowerment as strategies for improving the health of the world's populations. The Nursing Interventions Classification (NIC) created a mechanism to categorize nursing services. Prospective payment of services was the feature of DRGs. The Future of Public Health by the Institute of Medicine (IOM) focused on assessment, policy formation, and assurance as key indicators.
