In my new role as an NP in the health care field, I most look forward to the holistic approach to
diagnosing and treating patients. Above and beyond the typical aspects of patient care, Nurse
Practitioners place an additional focus on disease prevention and incorporating health management
strategies into the patient’s lifestyle, and also provide a broader range of care, including conducting
physical examinations and assessing patients, diagnosing acute and chronic conditions and developing
treatment plans, prescribing medications, assessing the patient’s response, and adjusting treatment as
needed, reviewing diagnostic tests including X-rays and lab work, and teaching patients how to make
healthy choices. The concern that I have is the barriers to effective collaboration between NPs and
physicians, the ethical issues in the clinical setting, and patients wanting to see doctors and being
resistant to seeing nurse practitioners. Patients consider the doctor as the appropriate person to make
diagnoses, particularly when they perceive their condition to be serious. The APN roles doesn’t surprise
me, because I have done some research, and I know the scope of practice varies depending on the state
of practice.
