- Nurses working in the Henry Street Settlement in 1893 were among the first nurses to demonstrate autonomy in practice. This was because those nurses

| b. | Were required to use critical thinking skills. |
| c. | Focused solely on healing the very ill. |
| d. | Planned their care around research findings. |
ANS: B
In 1893, nurses working in the Henry Street Settlement were some of the first to demonstrate autonomy in practice because they encountered situations that required quick and innovative problem solving and critical thinking, and provided therapies aimed at maintaining wellness, as well as curing the ill. Nursing hospitals expanded in the late nineteenth century and were major providers of nursing care. Not until the early twentieth century was there a movement toward a scientific, research-based body of nursing knowledge.
