which leader should the nurse attribute the development of these roles?

2. Lillian Wald
3. Mary Brewster
4. Florence Nightingale
Answer: 4
Explanation: 4. 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.

5) While a nurse is conducting a health assessment, the individual asks why the term “patient” is
being used. What should the nurse explain about the implication of the term “patient”?
1. The person is seeking assistance because of illness.
2. The individual is proactive in his or her health care needs.
3. The person is a collaborator in his or her care.
4. The individual is using a service or commodity.
Answer: 1
Explanation: 1. The word patient comes from a Latin word meaning “to suffer” or “to bear.”
Usually, people become patients when they seek assistance because of illness or for surgery.
Some nurses believe that the word patient implies passive acceptance of the decisions and care
of health professionals, which would be opposite of being proactive in one’s health care needs.
The term client presents the recipient of health care as a collaborator in that care, along with the
people who are providing service. A consumer is an individual, a group of people, or a
community that uses a service or commodity.
