Summary:NNPs are members of the health delivery system, practicing
autonomously in diverse areas along the wellness-illness continuum
in which direct primary and acute care is provided across settings.
NNPs diagnose and treat patients with undifferentiated symptoms as
well as those with established diagnoses. NNPs provide initial,
ongoing, and comprehensive care, including taking complete
histories; providing physical examinations and other health
assessment and screening activities; and diagnosing, treating, and
managing patients with acute and chronic illnesses and diseases.
This includes ordering, performing, supervising, and interpreting
laboratory and imaging studies; prescribing medication and durable
medical equipment; and making appropriate referrals for patients
and families. NNP care includes health promotion, disease
prevention, health education, and counseling as well as the
diagnosis and management of acute and chronic diseases. NNPs are
prepared to practice across the continuum, providing primary,
acute, chronic, and critical care to neonates and infants to age 1
year. In addition, NNPs select and perform clinically indicated
advanced diagnostic and therapeutic invasive
procedures.Requirements:
