theory serves as the basis for the study of the development and evaluation
of the role of the advanced practice nurse in providing health care
to diverse populations. The historical development and acceptance
of the nurse practitioner and clinical nurse specialist are traced
through nursing practice acts, requirements imposed by boards of nurse
examiners, national certification efforts, third party payment systems,
and various professional organizations. Selected issues such as the
scope of practice, political, economic, and legislative influences
are analyzed. |
