Week 7: APNs as Healthcare Policy Leaders

Question 1: Critically analyze how healthcare systems and APRN practice are organized

and influenced by ethical, legal, economic, and political factors

The practice of advanced practice nurses (APN) is dependent on health policies at the

state and national scopes. In the US, the role of APNs depends on factors including ethical-legal,

political, and economic aspects, which shape an organization’s management and structure.

Alterations in healthcare policies within the state of North Carolina have directly affected the

practice and reimbursement of APNs. Healthcare policies affect the APN profession. These

policies include regulating the scope of practice; for instance, the nursing board of North

Carolina outlines the health tasks of APNs. Moreover, nurses have limited autonomy when

making clinical decisions (Chapman et al., 2019). However, recent modifications in the acts

regulating nursing practice in the state have expanded the scope of APNs hence they can perform

advanced procedures and prescribe treatment without a physician’s supervision (Moore et al.,

2020).

The APN profession is also affected by economic and political factors. For instance, the

shortage of primary health practitioners has increased the demand for APNs, especially in rural

areas (Gysin et al., 2019). This means more APNs are reimbursed in these areas to cover

shortages since they are equitable to physicians. However, their reimbursement faces economic

constraints such as limitations in budgeting and financing their operations (Ogunlowo &

Akingbade, 2023), which diminishes the APN to find and maintain their profession.

Question 2: Demonstrate professional and personal growth concerning the advocacy role of

advanced practice nursing in fostering policy within diverse healthcare settings
