B
Feedback:
The women's movement has influenced nurses, many of whom are women, to be more assertive and independent. Today's nursing role is more collaborative, rather than nurses being subservient to physicians. Primary care, previously delivered only by physicians, is now being delivered by advanced practice nurses as well. However, nurses are required to report to physicians in most cases, and have to work as part of a team rather than independently.
