Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 3

The central issue involved in level of entry into professional nursing is the definition of a profession. Although nursing currently meets the criteria for a profession, some criteria are met at a minimal level. Many feel that a baccalaureate degree would prepare the nurse to better meet those criteria. Professional title and reimbursement for services are also issues associated with entry level, but they are not as central to the issue as is the definition of a profession. Tuition cost is an issue with all levels of entry into practice.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1

Rufaidah is identified as the first nurse in Islam and started the first nursing school in Islam. The need for women care providers in the Islamic world is dictated by the custom of purdah, which makes it difficult for women to receive care from men and for men to receive care from women other than their family members. The Knights Hospitallers of St. John was a male religious order during the Middle Ages and was not associated with Rufaidah. The Parabolani Brotherhood was a group of men that provided care to the sick and dying in Rome during the third century and were not associated with Rufaidah. The person who converted to Christianity and started hospitals in Palestine was Paula, not Rufaidah.
