Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2

Generally, the more congruence there is between what was taught in nursing school and the way the new nurse is expected to practice, the more successful the socialization. Lack of congruence can impede socialization, not quicken it. It may also interfere with the quality of the nurse's practice.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 4

Before Nightingale went to Crimea, the death rate was estimated at 43. In the course of six months of emphasis on environmental controls, the mortality rate dropped to 2. This represents a dramatic decrease in mortality.
