  • To ensure the autonomy of nursing care aetivies is one of the major and most interesting issues in the field of nursing. The pertaining autonomy demands the nurse to make decisions of her or his own with out interference and free of help from other sides of health care agency. The whole process of autonomous nursing behavior should be judged and conveyed by the nurse only on the basis of the internal factors of her care to solve the problems of the client's disorder in health. Truth of nursing science and relevence of nursing conduct depend on our construction of internal basis and establishment of self-sufficient reference system. The information for efficient decision-making at the scene of nursing can only be supplied by a systematic body of nursing science consisting of true or properly corroborated propositions. The science of nursing can be autonomous when we have framework of explanation, independently of other sciences and the behavior of nursing care can factually be independent of and peculiar to that of other but similar fields only when the science of nursing is correspondently autonomous.
