We must advocate working at our scope of practice to provide the necessary care, to fill the gaps and to produce an increased quality of care within our communities in which we serve (ANA, 2017). We must do this by being aware of our practice authority and understanding ways that we practice within our scope of practice. I plan to incorporate this information into my practice by knowing who my states authority is and by reviewing my scope of practice and following them. I plan to incorporate this into my practice by understanding where I fit into the healthcare team. I want to be an effective part of the healthcare team that provides care within her scope of practice that ensures increased safety, well-being, health promotion and disease prevention for all communities and patients in which I care for (ANA, 2017).
