Answer to Question 1

B
The first recorded nurse administering anesthesia was Sister Mary Bernard, a Catholic nun, in 1877.
Alice Magaw, is considered the mother of anesthesia for her outstanding contributions to the field.
Mary Breckenridge was a British midwife who worked with the Frontier Nursing Services in rural
Kentucky in the 1920s. Loretta Ford helped establish the role of the nurse practitioner in 1975 at the
University of Colorado

Answer to Question 2

A, B, E, F
Quality measures would reflect improvements such as an increase in patient satisfaction, decrease in
patient complaints, development of patient education material, and a review of all Emergency
Department deaths. Reduction in market share and an increase in repeat asthma patient visits do not
indicate improvement.
