Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 4

The focus of professional nursing practice is shifting from acute hospital-based illness care to primary outpatient-based community care, emphasizing health promotion and illness/injury preventions. The percentage of RNs working in hospitals decreased from 66 in 1980 to 56.2 in 2004.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 3

Hippocrates is considered to be the father of medicine. He believed that disease had a natural cause, in contrast to the magical and mystical causes that had been thought to cause disease by priests and witch doctors. He did not believe disease was caused by evil thoughts and deeds.
