Advanced Professional Nurse as
Advocate
Advanced professional nurses are constantly having to serve as advocates for
patients. It is imperative that patients are listened to, and taken seriously whenever they
have any type of concern. By being advocates for patients it allows trust to be established,
and improves the overall health of the patient. “The Registered Nurses described patient
advocacy as promoting patient safety and quality care which includes the following:
protecting patients, being patients' voice, provision of quality care and interpersonal
relationship as well as educating patients” (Nsiah, Siakwa, & Ninnoni, 2019, p. 1124). As
an advanced practice nurse it is essential that they focus on the welfare of the patient in
the healthcare setting. It is an advanced practice nurse's job to make sure that the needs of
the patient are met to their standards and that the patient is satisfied.
A lot of times within the healthcare system advanced practice nurses are not only
advocating for patients on a day to day basis, but they are also advocating for individuals
that are part of an at-risk population. This can differ from the normal advocating that may
be done each day. When dealing with someone that is part of an at-risk population,
advanced practice nurses must look at the common issues within that certain population,
find out what needs to be changed, initiate, and implement a policy. This can be difficult at
times due to the need to find
the policymakers within that community and addressing to them the need for a new policy
within the community. However, it is a great success when advanced practice nurses are
able to communicate with policymakers, allow them to see the need for a new policy, and
improve the overall well-being of the community.
