Final answer:
The statement about nursing is a regulatory issue, but the correct answers to the historical reference questions are that it is false that no state constitution in the Revolutionary Era allowed women to vote, and also false that women were not considered a legal person before the 19th Amendment. New Jersey, for a time, allowed women to vote and women were considered legal persons despite legal inequalities.
Step-by-step explanation:
The statement that only regulated RNs, RPNs, and LPNs are permitted to use the term "nurse" raises a legal and regulatory issue about the protections and definitions surrounding the profession of nursing. However, the given reference questions pertain to historical facts about women's rights, not the regulation of the nursing profession. Here are the correct answers to the given reference questions:
- No state constitution in the Revolutionary Era allowed women the right to vote. - False. While it was rare, New Jersey's original state constitution of 1776 granted voting rights to all inhabitants who met certain property requirements, irrespective of sex. However, this was changed in 1807 to restrict voting rights explicitly to white male citizens.
- Prior to the 19th Amendment being ratified, women were not considered a legal person on their own. - False. The term 'legal person' applies to any human or non-human entity that can function legally, hold rights, and be subject to duties. Although women faced many legal restrictions and inequalities, they were still considered legal persons.
