Question 1 of 5
Period of nursing where religious Christian orders emerged to take care of the sick

Rationale: The Apprentice Period (6th-19th centuries) saw Christian orders like the Sisters of Charity emerge to nurse the sick, driven by faith e.g., tending plague victims. Unlike Dark (decline), Contemporary (modern), or Educative (formal schools), this era blended religious duty with care, laying nursing's compassionate foundation.

Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Teamwork improves care (
A), involves collaboration (
B), shares goals (
D) 'works best alone' (
C) isn't true, team-based, per nursing. C's isolation contradicts teamwork, like Mr. Gary's team, making it untrue.
Question 3 of 5
