Parkman (1996) suggested areas in which NAP require training and skill development are basic care
procedures, communication skills, decision-making skills, and critical thinking skills. While being
reliable in one's thinking (thought processes) and teamwork are two other valuable areas in which
personnel can gain skills, they are not essential for viable practice.
