Answer to Question 1

B
Students must incorporate the values, skills, behaviors, and norms appropriate to nursing into their self-identities in a process called socialization, which begins in nursing school and occurs again as nurses change roles or jobs.
Professional and effective communication is a vital part of working in a multidisciplinary team, but it does not demonstrate socialization.
Understanding legal and ethical standards is important to today's nurses, but this is not the best choice for two reasons: First, simply learning the standards is not enough; one must act on them. Second, this is not all that is involved in the socialization process.
Being able to understand the complexities of the nursing role today is something that the student will not truly understand until immersed in the first job. This is not directly related to socialization into a profession such as nursing.

Answer to Question 2

A
Wald responded to the changing social conditions in the late 1800s by establishing the Henry Street Settlement and Henry Street Visiting Nurse Services in response to the horrendous health conditions she witnessed in New York City.
Wald was not involved in establishing college-based nursing programs.
Wald was not involved in establishing the Navy Nurse Corps.
Wald was not involved in establishing maternal-child nursing as a specialty, although she did care for many new mothers and their infants as part of her community nursing role.
