The campaign associated with the Unknown Men in White aimed to do what?

• A. End practice of nurse anesthesia
• B. Expand nurse anesthesia
• C. Improve patient safety
• D. Cut hospital costs

Answer: (A)

The underlying idea is the historical struggle over who should provide anesthesia and how that practice was regulated. The Unknown Men in White represented physician groups pushing to end the practice of nurse anesthesia, arguing that anesthesia should be delivered only by physicians. That campaign aimed to remove or restrict nurses from administering anesthesia, rather than to expand it, improve safety through broader regulation, or cut costs. So the best choice reflects the goal of eliminating nurse anesthesia, which directly captures the historical push you’re being tested on.
