Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2, 1, 5, 3, 4
Rationale 1: In 1836, Theodore Fliedner reinstituted the Order of Deaconesses and opened a small hospital and training school in Kaiserswerth, Germany, where Florence Nightingale received her training.
Rationale 2: Religion played a significant role in the development of nursing. The crusades saw the formation of several orders of knights who provided care to the sick and injured, including the Knights of St. Lazarus.
Rationale 3: During the American Civil War (18611865), Harriet Tubman (among other nurses) administered to the care of slaves and injured soldiers.
Rationale 4: World War II casualties created an acute shortage of care, and the Cadet Nurse Corps was established in response to the shortage of nurses.
Rationale 5: During the Crimean War (18541856), Ms. Nightingale administered to the solders following a request by Sir Sidney Herbert of the British War Department.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Sudden motions and motorized travel can worsen vertigo; avoiding these will lessen the severity of the vertigo. Increasing fluid intake, avoiding reading books, and using antiemetic patches do not affect vertigo.
