Answer to Question 1

Answer: 4
Explanation: 4. The Sheppard-Towner Act represented the first federal legislation that specifically targeted an aspect of population health, most notably maternal-child health. The Child Health Act was not passed until 1967 and recommended the use of nurses in extended roles. The Social Security Act did not originally focus on health promotion efforts. The Hill-Burton Act, passed after World War II, focused on the building of hospitals rather than population health.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 2, 4, 5
Explanation: 2. The settlement house movement was started in answer to the rise of immigration to the United States to help the immigrants assimilate to U.S. culture and mores. The immigrant population in the United States drew Lillian Wald and her followers to provide nursing care to this group and thus improve their overall health, which then translated to the overall population. Standardization of practice resulted in the formation of the National Organization of Public Health Nurses in 1912. Wald and other nurses then advocated for legislation specific to the population health, most notably with the Sheppard-Towner Act in 1921. District nursing was a movement primarily located in Great Britain.
