what is collaborative practice agreement? - An agreement between APRN &
collaborating physician
what must a collaborative practice agreement be approved by - the LSBN
are controlled substances included with prescriptive authority - NO! They require a
separate application and fee
is controlled substance PA required by the LSBN - no
Who can an APRN NOT prescribe or distribute controlled substances to (3 groups) -
chronic or intractable pain
obesity
oneself, a spouse, child, or family member
each DNP essential has what associated - expected competencies
are domains more important than comptencies? - NO! "The featured concepts found
within the Essentials are not of 'lesser importance' than a domain."
What are the essential concepts of DNP? - clinical judgement, communication,
compassionate care, diversity, equity, and inclusion, ethics, evidence based practice,
health policy, and social determinants of health
what is the expectation for APRNs in regards to EBP - All APRNS are expected to
translate current best evidence into practice.
research vs EBP - Research is a systemic investigation designed to generate or
contribute generalizable new knowledge/EBP combines findings from multiple research
studies that focus on the efficacy of a particular intervention or the accuracy of a specific
diagnostic procedure
what is the goal of EBP - EBP's goal is the synthesis of existing knowledge generated
from multiple research studies
what is QI - QI is defined as a systematic activity that generates outcome data in order
to achieve rapid improvements in health care delivery in a specific setting.
what do Research, EBP, and QI projects share as a common goal? - improvement of
patient care
what is the gold standard research design for generating evidence? - the randomized
control trial (RCT)
, what are the KEY TASKS of primary care? (think what is the role of PC, not who they
see) - 1. First contact with care
2. Longitudinal care (referring to a sustained patient provider relationship over time)
3. Comprehensiveness of care
4. Coordination of services.
T/F: a Primary care NP is able to provide the full spectrum of healthcare services - True,
The PCNP is educated to provide the full spectrum of health care services to previously
diagnosed and undiagnosed primary care patients and families, including health
promotion, disease prevention, health protection, anticipatory guidance, counseling,
disease management, and palliative and end of life care.
T/F primary care NP select patients treatment regimens - True, they: Assess patients;
analyze and synthesize data and knowledge
apply nursing principles at an advanced level
provide guidance and teaching
work with patients and families in meeting health care needs
collaborate with other healthcare providers
manage patients' physical and psychosocial health-illness status with regard to nursing
care
utilize research skills
analyze multiple sources of data and identify and perform medical diagnosis in
accordance with the collaborative practice agreement
make decisions in solving patient care problems and selecting treatment regimens
consult with and/or refer patients to licensed physicians, dentists, and other health care
providers in accordance with a collaborative practice agreement.
Who is the adult-gero ACUTE CARE NP patient population? - acute, critical, and/or
complex chronic health illnesses or injuries who may be physiologically unstable,
technologically dependent, and/or highly vulnerable for complications in any geographic
setting in which these patients may be found.
T/F: The Adult/Gero Acute Care NP provides comprehensive care - True, in a
collaborative model
T/F: The Adult/Gero Acute Care NP provides care for patients who may be AT RISK for
physiologic instability? - True, this can happen anywhere along the continuum of care,
not just acute care units
T/F: The Adult/Gero Acute Care NP may work in rehab settings? - True, AG-ACNP can
span outpatient to hospital settings, urgent care, subacute care, and rehabilitation.
Differences and Commonalities between the AG-ACNP and PCNP - PCNP: deals with
management of patient conditions when stable or when adjustments to medications or
care is necessary.
