Answer to Question 1

C
Nursing practice has evolved from a variety of influences and experiences such as the needs of society
(to help provide health-related care for the sick) and has been greatly influenced by religions and
women (not tradition). While the seminal work of Florence Nightingale had a major impact upon the
profession, it was her initial work in the Crimean War (not Korean) that stimulated substantial changes
in the way the sick and injured were cared for. A concern for the welfare of others as a group or as
individuals (not providers) has also contributed to the foundations of nursing practice.
