Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Critical theoretical perspective examines social inequalities within the broader political, economic, and social systems of society that keep people from reaching their full potential.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Discovering the appalling conditions of the hospital, Florence Nightingale set up diet kitchens and a laundry and provided food, clothing, dressings, and laboratory equipment. Her focus on environmental improvements did not address private spousal visits, administration of IV (intravenous) medications, or completion of a community assessment.
