The role of the nurse practitioner (NP) has become a dominant role for nurses in all levels of health care. How do NPs help patients? (Mark all that apply.)
A) Educating patients and family members
B) Coordinating care with other disciplines
C) Direct intervention
D) Collaborating with other nurses
E) Indirect intervention
Ans: A, B, C
Feedback: This role is a dominant one for nurses in primary, secondary, and tertiary health care settings and in home care and community nursing. Nurses help patients meet their needs by using direct intervention, by teaching patients and family members to perform care, and by coordinating and collaborating with other disciplines to provide needed services. The other answers are incorrect because NPs collaborate with other disciplines, not just nursing, while providing care, and they directly intervene, not indirectly.
