2. Locating the source of disease and curing patients
3. The autonomy of practice and independence in problem solving and decision making
4. Caring for soldiers on the battlefield

Com-munity health care nurses did engage in these activities in the nineteenth century, but overall, they have been best known for autonomy of practice.
