ANS: 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 wellbeing of soldiers is critical, nurses
provided healthcare to the sick and injured at the battle site. The physicians handmaiden was/is a
nursing stereotype rather than an influence on nursing. Although there has been 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. Germ theory and
sanitation helped to improve healthcare but did not shape nursing.
