Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
During the Crimean War, the death rate of British soldiers was 60, which dropped to 1 due to the nursing care provided. The nurses improved the ventilation, nutritional, and sanitary conditions of the soldiers, leading to decreased rates of infection and gangrene. As a result, the death rate dropped. The families and the soldiers donated funds after the war, not during the war, through which an organized education and training facility for nurses was started. These measures did not primarily account for the reduction in the death rate among soldiers.

Answer to Question 2

A
You can delegate portions of I&O measurement to nursing assistive personnel (NAP). In many agencies, NAP can record oral intake but not intake through tubes or IVs and can record urine, diarrhea, and vomitus output, but not drainage through tubes.
