Nurse Practitioners Practice: A Case Study

It is reported that nurse practitioners are well liked by many patients because of the way they provide care. Patients are more comfortable speaking with nurse practitioners due to more effective communication skills and more allotted time to have a discussion. It is felt that nurse practitioners also promote more self-care knowledge and information to improve health that patients greatly appreciate. All this comes from core nursing values that were established from the beginning of the nursing profession (Sangster-Gormley, Frisch, & Schreiber, 2013). Nurse practitioners practice “on a wide knowledge and skills base to enhance both care and clinical management, and also significantly provide clinical leadership to the whole care environment”
