Potter et al: Canadian Fundamentals of Nursing, 6th Edition
MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. Which of the following was the main health reason why health care facilities in the British
colonies were increasingly needed during the eighteenth-century British regime?
a. Scurvy.
b. Bubonic plague.
c. Increased birth rate.
d. Infectious diseases.
ANS: D
Infectious diseases carried by immigrants and travellers spread rapidly in the British colonies,
creating a need for more health care facilities. Neither scurvy nor bubonic plague was the
main health reason for increased health care facilities. The increasing birth rate had nothing to
do with an increased need for health care facilities.

d. The women’s suffrage movement.
ANS: A
The history of modern nursing, at its heart, is a story of globalization. Nurses often travelled
across geographic and national boundaries to bring nursing service and training to
communities in need. Although Florence Nightingale reduced morbidity and mortality rates
by applying modern principles of cleanliness and comfort during the Crimean War, this war
was not the main driving force for the modernization of nursing. Missionary nursing was the
result of a series of sociopolitical factors converging at the same time but was not the main
driving force for the modernization of nursing. The women’s suffrage movement was also not
the main driving force for the modernization of nursing, although nursing did become an
instrument of women’s emancipation from restrictions of middle-class women.

birth in remote locations with no assistance. A flu epidemic, a measles outbreak, and war
casualties were not the health care issue responsible for the creation of the VON.
