The clinical trainer for a group of population health nurses is planning to present the historical events that shaped and formed the development of population nursing in the United States. Which events should the trainer include? (Select all that apply.)

1. Creation of district nursing.
2. Settlement house movement.
3. Passage of immigration limiting legislation.
4. Standardization of community nursing practice.
5. Passage of legislation specific to community nursing.


Answer: 2, 4, 5
Explanation: 2. The settlement house movement was started in answer to the rise of immigration to the United States to help the immigrants assimilate to U.S. culture and mores. The immigrant population in the United States drew Lillian Wald and her followers to provide nursing care to this group and thus improve their overall health, which then translated to the overall population. Standardization of practice resulted in the formation of the National Organization of Public Health Nurses in 1912. Wald and other nurses then advocated for legislation specific to the population health, most notably with the Sheppard-Towner Act in 1921. District nursing was a movement primarily located in Great Britain.
