Duties of district nurses in Liverpool, England, in 1865 included the following: Investigate new referrals as soon as possible; report to the superintendent situations in which additional food or relief would improve recovery; report neglect of clients by family or friends to the superintendent; assist physicians with surgery in the home; maintain a clean, uncluttered home environment and tend fires for heat; teach the client and family about cleanliness, ventilation, giving of food and medications, and obedience to the physician's orders; set an example for neatness, order, sobriety, and obedience; hold family matters in confidence; avoid interference with the religious opinions and beliefs of clients and others; report facts to and ask questions of physicians; and refer the acutely ill to hospitals and the chronically ill, poor without family to infirmaries.

Nurses at that time assisted physicians with surgery in the home, not in newly constructed hospitals.
