Advanced Practice Nurses
A nurse practitioner is a registered nurse who has advanced education and clinical training. Recognized as expert health care providers, nurse practitioners deliver basic health care for children, adults, and families in a wide range of settings. Nurse practitioners provide information people need to make informed decisions about their health care and lifestyle choices. NPs focus particularly on health promotion and maintenance, disease prevention, and diagnosing and managing acute and chronic illnesses. Nurse practitioner care is individualized, focusing not only on health problems, but also on the effects health problems have on people and their families.
Advanced Practice Nurses perform these general functions:
• Taking the patient’s history
• Performing a physical exam
• Ordering laboratory tests and procedures
• Diagnosing, treating, and managing diseases
• Writing prescriptions
• Coordinating referrals
