Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Lillian Wald provided health care that included educating the community on health care matters. The focus of the majority of her work was on health services and health promotion for families and children. Because of her focus on health promotion for families and children, her primary role would not have been taking and recording blood pressures, discussing environmental pollu-tants (as her focus was not occupational health), or time management (as at this point in time very few women were working outside of the home).

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Providing health care to seamen was an early effort by the federal government to improve public health. The purpose of the Marine Hospital Service was to secure its maritime trade and seacoast cities. Marine Hospital Service nurses did not establish policies or hospital programs. They also did not identify and improve environmental conditions as Florence Nightingale did. Their sole purpose was to provide care for this population.
