¶ … registered nurse (RN) possessing advanced level education (a master's degree or doctoral degree), and corresponding skills, scope of nursing practice, and knowledge that reflects their educational qualification(s) is termed as an Advanced Practice Registered Nurse (APRN). On the other hand, Nurse Practitioners (NPs) are APRNs who deliver quality patient care services (UAPRN, n.d).
Although physician assistants (PAs) possess the requisite skills to perform specific duties by themselves, they carry out these duties under their supervising doctor's authority. In contrast, nurse practitioners (NPs) may have greater autonomy.

Because it is compulsory for PAs to work together with a qualified physician, their working hours are very closely linked with their supervising physician's work hours. NPs, in contrast, may have greater autonomy in this respect, as well (Cresswell, 2013).

d. Expert guidance and coaching is established by knowledge levels, the ability to utilize adult coaching rules, and the capability of customizing evidence-based academic interventions on the basis of individual patient needs, and that of their families (Cooke, Gemmill & Grant, 2008). The patient-NP relationship in a primary care setting develops a sound base for the guidance and coaching competence. However, guidance and coaching competence coincides with the individual practice skills, as well as with information and technology literacy. In addition, NP guidance and coaching focuses on the wide range of concerns pertaining to age and development. A sound link has been…
