A fundamental and guiding principle of the French-Canadian hospitals that survived largely in-tact into the twentieth century was that care was available to all people, regardless of back-ground, status in life, or ability to pay. This continues to be a principle for which nurses, through their professional organizations, have argued for determinedly in national debates on the nature and continuing direction of our national health care insurance program.
The statement Universal precautions are fundamental in preventing nosocomial infections was not a guiding principle of French-Canadian hospitals.
The statement Nursing is primarily focused on the tertiary level of care does not reflect a contri-bution from the past to present nursing beliefs and practices.
The statement Nurses need to recognize the impact of their health, values, and beliefs on practice does not reflect a contribution from the past to present nursing beliefs and practices.
