Abstract:
Previous to the 20th-century, the professional nurse acted only under the instruction or direct supervision of a physician; however, with the advance of medicine in the new century, nurses were required to act more independently of the physician in observing, assessing, and instructing his/her patient. These three activities have been identified as nursing functions by nursing practice acts, professional declarations, and court decisions.
