Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: Adaptive, Client centered, An art, A science
Rationale : Adaptive; client centered; art; science; holistic; caring; concerned with health promotion, health maintenance, and health restoration; and a helping profession are themes that are common to many definitions formulated about nursing. In 1973, the American Nurses Association (ANA) described nursing practice as goal oriented and adaptable to the needs of the individual, the family, and the community (not just the client). In 1980, the ANA's definition was changed to Nursing is the diagnosis and treatment of the human responses to actual or potential health problems. Diagnosis and treatment of disease is a definition of the medical model.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 4
Rationale: Florence Nightingale's vision of nursing included public health and health promotion roles for nurses, but it was only partly addressed in the early days of nursing. Her focus tended to be on developing the profession within the hospitals. Clara Barton is noted for establishing the American Red Cross. She persuaded Congress to ratify the Treaty of Geneva in 1882 so that the Red Cross could perform humanitarian efforts in times of peace. Lillian Wald is considered the founder of public health nursing. She and Mary Brewster were the first to offer trained nursing services to the poor in the New York slums and developed the Visiting Nurse Service, along with the Henry Street Settlement.
