Answer to Question 1

B
The distance at which one person is comfortable interacting with another is influenced by age, cultural values, and gender of those interacting. This is categorized by zones: intimate (touch to 18 inches), personal (18 inches to 4 feet), social (4 to 12 feet), and public (12 or more feet). Nurses must move from a client's public space to their intimate space in a very short span of time due to the provision of care.

Answer to Question 2

C
Florence Nightingale is considered to be the founder of modern nursing. Nightingale's major accomplishments include demonstrating the value of nursing care in reducing morbidity and mortality rates during the Crimean War; advocating the principles of cleanliness, good nutrition, and fresh air as important to health and healing; and developing public awareness of the need for educated nurses.
