A fundamental and guiding principle of the French-Canadian hospitals that survived largely intact into the twentieth century was that care should be available to all people,regardless of background,status in life,or ability to pay.This continues to be a principle for which nurses,through their professional organizations,have argued doggedly in national debates on the nature and continuing direction of Canada's national health care insurance program.The statement "Universal precautions are fundamental in preventing nosocomial infections" was not a guiding principle of French-Canadian hospitals.The statements "Nursing is primarily focused on the tertiary level of care" and "Nurses need to recognize the effect of their health,values,and beliefs on practice" do not reflect a contribution from the past to current nursing beliefs and practices.
