Answer to Question 1

ANS: 3
Florence Nightingale promoted treating the patient based on the patient's individual needs rather than treating the disease or, in this case, the machinery.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 2
LPN students learned homemaking skills, because much of the patient care they provided was within the patient's home.
