Answer to Question 1

C
Hospitals were considered places for people who had no one else to care for them.
Most patients were cared for in their homes. A dying patient probably would have been cared for at home.
A patient with a communicable illness would have probably been confined to his or her home.
Women in labor typically had their children at home.

Answer to Question 2

B
Diploma students were traditionally expected to staff the hospital with which their program was affiliated, often to the detriment of their educational experiences. This exploitation was described in several important studies of nursing education.
Traditional diploma programs do not offer college credit, no matter who teaches the courses.
Diploma programs were expensive to operate and expensive to students, and this had a part in their decreasing numbers. Federal funding (through a variety of means) is available for individual students, and although it is administered by institutions, it is not granted to the institution itself.
Requiring doctorally prepared faculty would not address an historic concern with diploma education.
