Role of Advanced Practice Nurses (APN) in Safe Prescribing
APNs include clinical nurse specialists, nurse practitioners, nurse midwives, and nurse anesthetists. These healthcare providers play a crucial role in the healthcare sector, and they have a significant influence on the future of healthcare. They combine efforts to provide preventive health care services to the general public. Advanced practice registered nurses diagnose and treat illnesses, manage chronic diseases. Besides, the nurses should have a master’s degree in addition to their primary nursing education (Reps. Pigman, Campbell, and others, 2016). This enables them to engage in continuous learning and remain ahead of any methodological, technological, or other health sector developments.
