NPs order, perform and interpret dignostic tests, diagnose and treat acute and chronic conditions; and prescribe medications and other treatments; and NPs are truly partners in the health care of their patients, so that in addition to clinical services, NPs focus on health promotion, disease prevention and health education and counseling, guiding patients to make smarter health and lifestyle choices; and the excellence, safety, and cost -effectiveness of the care providing by NPs is established and well-documented; and
NPs provide health care to people of all ages and in diverse health care settings such as private office practice, hospitals, long -term care facilities, schools, state and local health departments, managed care facilities, and retail-based clinics; and it is documented that patients of NPs are given more personal time and attention than they traditionally receive from other health care providers.
