B) Cleaning of hospitals
C) Determining a course of action
D) Licensing of practicing nurses
Ans: A
Florence Nightingale believed not only in being a part of the policy process, but also in being a participant in a positive process. She believed that once she determined a course of action to be beneficial to the patients and was active in setting policy regarding hand washing and cleanliness procedures, it was her responsibility to make sure that the policy continued to be followed that exemplifies involvement in public policy. Nightingale was not involved in licensing of practicing nurses.
