What is a Nurse Practitioner? |
|
A Nurse Practitioner (NP) is a registered professional
nurse who has completed further education and acquired
advanced knowledge in clinical skills. NP's provide a
wide range of health care services to people of all ages.
In New York State, NP's have prescriptive authority and
practice in collaboration with a physician. To ensure
quality of care, NP's are certified by New York State and
various national professional organizations.
Nurse Practitioners offer services such as 1) diagnosis
and management of disease, 2) prevention of illness and 3)
health maintenance. The NP takes health histories and
performs physical exams. They also identify and treat
many common problems (acute and chronic) through:
- laboratory evaluation and
X-rays,
-
prescribing and managing
medications and other therapies,
- health teaching and supportive
counseling with an emphasis on prevention of illness and
health maintenance, referral of patients to other health
professionals as needed.
Nurse Practitioners have offered high quality and cost
effective services, in partnership with their patients, for
more than thirty years. |
