Correct Answer: 1
Clara Maass allowed herself to be bitten by a mosquito to prove the theory that mosquitoes carried yellow fever. She developed a mild case of the disease, allowed herself to be bitten a second time, developed a more severe case, and died. Jeanne Mance was the founder of the Hotel Dieu hospital in Montreal, Canada, and is credited with being the first lay nurse in North America. Mary Mahoney is considered to be America's first African American professional nurse. Edith Cavell was a nurse during World War I and was executed after being charged by the Germans with harboring British and French soldiers and aiding them in escape.
