Answer:

She cleaned the hospital and treated many soldiers...

Florence and her nurses immediately went to work to improve the hospital:

  • Florence received gifts and funds from home to pay for better medical equipment, medicine and food.
  • She set up a hospital kitchen serving nice food for the patients.
  • Florence and her nurses cleaned the hospital from floor to ceiling, cleared it of vermin and got a team to clear the drains.
  • She provided better sleeping conditions with beds spaced apart to prevent the spread of infection and blankets to keep the patients warm.
  • She let clean air into the hospital.
  • She introduced strict hygiene rules – patients were bathed and their bedding was washed regularly.
  • She gave the soldiers a high quality of care and even wrote letters home for them when they couldn’t do it themselves.
  • She even set up a classroom and library so that more able-bodied patients could have books and entertainment.

Florence's work in the Scutari hospital reduced the death-rate of the injured soldiers by two-thirds.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hope it helps!!
