Feedback
1 The physician's handmaiden was/is a nursing stereotype rather than an
influence on nursing.
2 Although there has been a need for healthcare outside the home
throughout history, this has more influence on the development of hospitals
than on nursing; this need provided one more setting for nursing work.
3 Throughout the centuries, stability of the government has been related to
the success of the military to protect or extend its domain. As the survival
and well-being of soldiers are both critical, nurses provided healthcare to
the sick and injured at the battle site.
4 Germ theory and sanitation helped to improve healthcare but did not shape
nursing.

Feedback
1 Illness-prevention activities focus on avoiding a specific disease. A food
diary is a health-promotion activity.
2 Although cancer is a disease, it is assumed that a person joining a support
group would already have the disease; therefore, this is not disease
prevention but treatment.
3 Administering immunization for HPV is an example of illness prevention.
4 Teaching a diabetic patient about diet is a treatment for diabetes; the
patient already has diabetes, so it cannot prevent diabetes.
