1. This is correct. Traditionally, modern nursing is considered to have begun in 1873, when the first three U.S. training schools for nurses opened. The role of
the lay healer as a midwife is documented to have occurred in the 19th century, before the establishment of schools of nursing. The Frontier Nursing Service
(FNS), which provided nurse-midwifery services, was established in 1925. In 1928, the Kentucky State Association of Midwives, which was an outgrowth of
the FNS, became the American Association of Nurse-Midwives (AANM).

Feedback
1. This is incorrect. In 1910, the midwifery profession was significantly influenced by poor maternal-child outcomes and a public perception as unprofessional.
Though legislation ultimately was passed to tighten requirements related to licensing and supervision of midwives, in the early 20th century, midwives were
largely unregulated and generally perceived as unprofessional. 
2. This is correct. In 1910, the midwifery profession was significantly influenced by poor maternal-child outcomes and a public perception as unprofessional. At
that time, approximately 50% of all U.S. births were reportedly attended by midwives. However, especially with regard to perinatal health indicators, the
national population’s general health was poor. Unfavorable outcomes among both mothers and infants were attributed to midwives who, at that time, were
largely unregulated and generally perceived as unprofessional. Poor maternalchild outcomes, negative perceptions of midwives, obstetricians’ targeted efforts
to take control of the birthing process, and a movement away from home births prompted major changes. Legislation was passed to tighten requirements related
to licensing and supervision of midwives. One aim of the Sheppard-Towner Maternity and Infancy Act involved allocating funds to train public health nurses
in midwifery; however, the bill lapsed in 1929.
3. This is incorrect. Goals of the Sheppard-Towner Maternity and Infancy Act included allocating funds to train public health nurses in midwifery, but the bill
