Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The school at the Brooklyn YWCA placed the focus of training for practical nurses on home health care for patients with chronic illness, the aged, and children. The first program, created in 1892, was not affected by war. When visiting nurses and public health nurses went into the community, they were armed with their basic education, as described. Any trained nurse could teach in a practical nurse program at this point in time.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Miss Nightingale's insistence that nurses be women of good character helped nursing emerge from its Dark Ages and elevated it to a respectable vocation. In addition, she established a school for nurse training and wrote several books on nursing. Although Barton and Wald are positive examples in nursing history, neither influenced nursing to the extent that Nightingale did. Sairy Gamp is a negative character associated with nursing history.
