Advance Practice Nurses, Physicians Assistants, Registered Nurses and Physicians
Physicians naturally have the most authority over patient care and in the traditional relationship between physicians and RNs, physicians directly control and must specifically authorize the clinical responsibilities of nurses. Advanced Practice Nurses enjoy a greater degree of autonomy and make certain independent decisions within a broader range of authority granted by physicians. Individual state laws define more particularly the exact functions that APRNs are authorized to perform (NCBON, 2011). Physician assistants and Nurse Practitioners perform specific clinical medical functions traditionally reserved exclusively to physicians such as prescribing medications and performing minor medical procedures (Hamric, Spross, & Hanson, 2009).

Advanced practice nursing professionals can help publicize and promote a better public understanding by communicating directly with patients in their clinical capacities and by introducing themselves by their proper titles. They may also make the effort to explain to patients receiving advanced clinical nursing care exactly why their nurse is treating them in connection with providing details about the extent of their training and qualifications. Since APRNs are also typically involved in public health promotions, they should also take advantage of those opportunities to educate patients and other members of the public about their roles, qualifications, and…

Promoting Advanced Practice Nursing to the Public
In many cases, patients are completely unaware of the distinctions between Nurses, Advanced Practice Nurses, Nurse Practitioners, and Physician Assistants. Advanced practice nursing professionals can help publicize and promote a better public understanding by communicating directly with patients in their clinical capacities and by introducing themselves by their proper titles. They may also make the effort to explain to patients receiving advanced clinical nursing care exactly why their nurse is treating them in connection with providing details about the extent of their training and qualifications. Since APRNs are also typically involved in public health promotions, they should also take advantage of those opportunities to educate patients and other members of the public about their roles, qualifications, and responsibilities.
Internationally, for example, most countries do not have protected titles and there is no agreement about the use of titles to distinguish APN roles. Role confusion arises when the same title, such a nurse specialist is applied to different roles with varied purposes, educational preparation, and scopes of practice. As this role becomes more integrated into the framework of different societies and is better defined, it is expected that

Advanced Practice Roles in Nursing The starting point of all current-day nursing practices is a registered nurse. The current standards and policies with respect to education and legal regulations for attaining a basic first-level nursing standard weren't always fixed. For that matter, there weren't always professional nurses, either. Specialist nurses can be considered as the primary product of nursing's professional evolution. The basis of the advanced nurses of today was established in
Evidence-Based Practice (EBP), Research, and Quality Improvement (QI) in Nursing Evidence-Based Practice (EBP), Research, and Quality Improvement (QI) in Nursing PracticeAbstractThis paper differentiates Evidence-Based Practice, Research, and Quality Improvement as used in nursing. Evidence-Based Practice, Research, and Quality Improvement are considered the key to improving patient outcomes and healthcare quality (Carter et al., 2017). Evidence-based practice involves translating the evidence and using it in clinical decision-making. Evidence-based practice consistently enhances
Translational Research Emphasis for the last thirty years has been on shifting nursing curricula out of hospitals to universities. The education of nurses is now increasingly leaning towards theory. This has led to an obvious gap between what is experienced in the practical healthcare settings by nurses and what is taught in lecture halls (Saifan, AbuRuz, & Masa'deh, 2015). Nursing practice is just one of the areas of healthcare that is experiencing
Culture Care Universality and Diversity Leininger conceptualized the theory of care was developed in the 1950s and provided a way to bridge a culture and nursing care. "Leininger theory of Culture Care Diversity and Universality" (Garmon 2011 p 1) is derived from the understanding the fields of culture and anthropology and is credited for her contribution to the nursing theory by establishing the transcultural concept in the nursing care. Typically,
