Answer to Question 1

Ans: C

The only statement that needs to be clarified by the nursing student teaching the high school students is that regarding working no more than 5 hours per week.

At that time, nursing schools did not follow standards or regulations and a nurse caught smoking or drinking could be fired. New York was the first state to pass mandatory licensing for practical/vocational nurses.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
Feedback:
One of the early accomplishments of the Red Cross was to make rules for the treatment of the wounded and for the protection of medical personnel and hospitals.
