Question Description
Read the following situation and express your opinion, position, and point of view related to the Advanced Practice Registered Nurses (Nurse Practitioners) scope of practice.
You are one of the Nurse Practitioners working at a Community Medical Center. You heard one of the Physicians saying the following in a conversation with another doctor:
It is unusual for NPs to refer themselves as a Doctor because they simply are not. It is atypical. I also think that Nurse Practitioners should not work independently, at any time, and in any circumstances. There must always be a real Doctor to guide them. They must always work under the mandate of a Doctor.
What do you think about that?
State your position or point of view about it.
If you had the opportunity to be part of the conversation, what would you respond to the doctor’s argument?
Use literature (references) to support your arguments and/or opinion. Keep Plagiarism below 20 percent and use APA format.
