How did the development of the Deaconess Institute at Kaiserwerth, Germany, change nursing?
1. It supported prisoners and prostitutes who wished to provide nursing care.
2. It developed a training school for nurses that included hospital care of the sick and visiting nurse instruction.
3. Nurses graduating from Kaiserwerth were the first to be called "registered" nurses.
4. This institution provided university-based training for nurses.
Correct Answer: 2
The development of the Deaconess Institute ignited recognition of the need for the services of women in the care of the sick, the poor, children, and female prisoners. The school was not university based, but did include care of the sick in hospitals, instruction in visiting nursing, instruction in religious doctrine and ethics, and pharmacy. This movement took nursing away from prisoners, prostitutes, and "uncommon" women and legitimized the role, but the graduates were not "registered" nurses.
