1. The entertainment industry
2. Presidential elections
3. Social movements
4. Natural disasters
Correct Answer: 3
Social movements and technological advancements have directly affected professional nursing development. World War II and the period following were times of major change for health care, for nursing, and for women. WWII caused a shortage of nurses due to many women choosing "war workers men's jobs" due to increased pay and the challenge of the work. The entertainment industry, presidential elections, and natural disasters have not directly affected the development of professional nursing.
