Answer to Question 1

C
The most important nursing intervention is to maintain airway and circulation for this patient; therefore, Impaired gas exchange is the first nursing priority. Activity intolerance is a concern but is not the priority in this case. Risk for skin breakdown and Risk for infection are also important but do not address an immediate impairment with physiologic integrity.

Answer to Question 2

C

Feedback
A Mary Agnes Snively achieved acclaim for her organizational work in nursing education. By the end of her tenure in 1910, Toronto General Hospital was the largest school of nursing in Canada and served as a model for others.
B Lady Ishbel Aberdeen, who was president of the National Council of Women, approved the formation of the VON in 1898.
C Jean I. Gunn advocated for nursing and nurses on many fronts. She castigated hospital boards for reviewing costs of hospital services while ignoring the savings that accrued from educating a nurse. She decried the exploitation of nurses in schools of nursing and envisioned university degree programs in nursing.
D Ethel Gordon Bedford Fenwick, editor of the British Journal of Nursing, attended the 1893 Congress of Charities, Corrections, and Philanthropy in Chicago where she spoke of British struggles to achieve registration in nursing. In 1899, she founded the ICN.
