1. Perception of health promotion as an obligation
2. Development of a clinical nurse specialist position statement
3. Foundation of the American Association of Nurse-Midwives

Feedback
1. This is incorrect. Lay healers traditionally viewed their role as being a function
of their community obligations; however, the emerging medical
establishment viewed healing as a commodity. The emergence of a male
medical establishment represents the primary impetus for the end of the era
of the female lay healer.
2. This is incorrect. The American Nurses Association (ANA) position statement
on educational requirements for the clinical nurse specialist (CNS) was
developed in 1965; the ANA’s position statement on the role of the CNS was
issued in 1976. The emergence of a male medical establishment represents
the primary impetus for the end of the era of the female lay healer.
3. This is incorrect. The American Association of Nurse-Midwives (AANM) was
founded in 1928. The emergence of a male medical establishment represents
the primary impetus for the end of the era of the female lay healer.
4. This is correct. The emergence of a male medical establishment represents
the primary impetus for the end of the era of the female lay healer. Whereas
lay healers viewed their role as being a function of their community
obligations, the emerging medical establishment viewed healing as a
commodity. The era of the female lay healer began and ended in the 19th
century. The American Association of Nurse-Midwives (AANM) was founded
in 1928. The American Nurses Association (ANA) position statement on
educational requirements for the clinical nurse specialist (CNS) was developed
in 1965; the ANA’s position statement on the role of the CNS was issued in
1976.
2. The beginning of modern nursing is traditionally considered to have begun with which
event?
1. Establishment of the first school of nursing
2. Incorporation of midwifery by the lay healer
3. Establishment of the Frontier Nursing Service (FNS)
4. Creation of the American Association of Nurse-Midwives (AANM)
,Answer: 1
Pages: 4–5

1. This is correct. Traditionally, modern nursing is considered to have begun in
1873, when the first three U.S. training schools for nurses opened. The role of
the lay healer as a midwife is documented to have occurred in the 19th
century, before the establishment of schools of nursing. The Frontier Nursing
Service (FNS), which provided nurse-midwifery services, was established in
1925. In 1928, the Kentucky State Association of Midwives, which was an
outgrowth of the FNS, became the American Association of Nurse-Midwives
(AANM).

3. In 1910, which factors most significantly influenced the midwifery profession? Select
all that apply.
1. Strict licensing requirements
2. Negative public perception
3. Dedicated funding for training
4. Poor maternal-child outcomes
5. Mandatory professional supervision
Answer: 2, 4
Pages: 6–7
Feedback
1. This is incorrect. In 1910, the midwifery profession was significantly
influenced by poor maternal-child outcomes and a public perception as
unprofessional. Though legislation ultimately was passed to tighten
requirements related to licensing and supervision of midwives, in the early
20th century, midwives were largely unregulated and generally perceived as
unprofessional.
,2. This is correct. In 1910, the midwifery profession was significantly influenced
by poor maternal-child outcomes and a public perception as unprofessional.
At that time, approximately 50% of all U.S. births were reportedly attended by
midwives. However, especially with regard to perinatal health indicators, the
national population’s general health was poor. Unfavorable outcomes among
both mothers and infants were attributed to midwives who, at that time,
were largely unregulated and generally perceived as unprofessional. Poor
maternal-child outcomes, negative perceptions of midwives, obstetricians’
targeted efforts to take control of the birthing process, and a movement away
from home births prompted major changes. Legislation was passed to tighten
requirements related to licensing and supervision of midwives. One aim of
the Sheppard-Towner Maternity and Infancy Act involved allotting funds to
train public health nurses in midwifery; however, the bill lapsed in 1929.
3. This is incorrect. Goals of the Sheppard-Towner Maternity and Infancy Act
included allocating funds to train public health nurses in midwifery, but the
bill lapsed in 1929. In 1910, poor maternal-child outcomes and a public
perception as unprofessional significantly influenced the midwifery
profession.

5. In the 19th century, which factors led to the administration of anesthesia by nurses?
Select all that apply.
1. Surgeon entitlement to collecting anesthesia fees
2. Collaborative practice between physician-anesthetists and nurses
3. Lack of recognition of anesthesiology as a medical specialty
4. Opposition to anesthesia administration by physicians
5. Formation of a national organization by nurse anesthetists
Answer: 1, 3
Pages: 10–11
Feedback
1. This is correct. In the 19th century, anesthesia was in its early stages. Because
of a lack of recognition as a medical specialty and the surgeon’s entitlement
to collecting anesthesia fees, other physicians had little to no interest in
anesthesia administration. However, physicians were not opposed to
administering anesthesia; rather, anesthesia was viewed as a means by which
to transform surgery into a scientific modality for treating health alterations.
Collaboration between physicians and nurses did not contribute to
administration of anesthesia by nurses; contentiousness is a hallmark of the
relationship between nurse anesthetists and anesthesiologists even in the
present day. In the 19th century, no national organization of nurse
anesthetists yet existed. The National Association of Nurse Anesthetists,
which was renamed the American Association of Nurse Anesthetists (AANA),
was founded in 1931.
2. This is incorrect. With the introduction of anesthesia, collaboration between
physicians and nurses did not contribute to administration of anesthesia by
