Answer to Question 1

C
Florence Nightingale established the Nightingale Training School for Nurses at St. Thomas's Hospital in London and recognizing that there is a body of nursing knowledge distinct from medical knowledge. Among Nightingale's major contributions to nursing as it is practiced today are using a systematic method of client assessment; individualizing care on the basis of client needs and preferences; advocating confidentiality in client care; seeing nurses as client advocates; using a holistic framework for nursing and nursing education; identifying the necessity of a liberal education as the foundation of nursing practice; and pointing out the importance of the environment to the healing process.

Answer to Question 2

D
Standard Precautions apply to blood; all body fluids, secretions, and excretions except sweat, regardless of whether those fluids contain visible blood; nonintact skin; and mucous membranes.
