Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the following questions.

Florence Nightingale, born on May 12, 1820, in Italy, was a British nurse, social reformer, and statistician. She is a famous woman in history known for her important work in nursing. Her dedication and compassion have made a lasting impact on healthcare.

[I] Florence broke societal rules by choosing a nursing career, which was not seen as a respectable job for women at the time. [II] During the Crimean War in the 1850s, Florence Nightingale gained prominence for her tireless efforts to improve the conditions of wounded soldiers. [III] She transformed the military hospitals by introducing better sanitation, hygiene practices, and organised medical care. [IV] Her commitment to patient well-being significantly reduced the mortality rate among the soldiers.

One of Florence Nightingale's lasting contributions was her emphasis on cleanliness and proper

healthcare practices, which laid the foundation for modern nursing. Her famous book, Notes on Nursing, became a guide for healthcare professionals, stressing the importance of a clean and well-ventilated environment for patient recovery.

The "Lady with the Lamp", as Florence was affectionately called, made nightly rounds to check on patients. Her dedication and hands-on approach to nursing set a precedent for compassionate care, shaping the future of the nursing profession.

Florence Nightingale's legacy endures today, with International Nurses Day celebrated on her birthday. Her pioneering work not only elevated the status of nursing but also inspired countless women to pursue careers in healthcare.

Florence Nightingale's story, where she went against what society expected and became a symbol of caring, shows how one person can make a big difference. Her influence still guides people in healthcare, reminding them to be dedicated, compassionate, and follow their passions.
