Expert Solution

Answer: Although many former opponents of the degree have since become late adopters, many within the discipline remain firm in their opposition. Controversial issues remain unresolved at present, some valid and credible and others without clear supporting evidence to one side or the other. Advanced practice nursing roles are developing globally, and opportunities for advanced practice nursing (APRN) are expanding worldwide due to the need for expert nursing care at an advanced level of practice. APRN is a term used to encompass certified nurse midwife, certified registered nurse anesthetist, clinical nurse specialist, and nurse practitioner.

*Characteristics of the APRN Role:

  • Right to diagnose
  • Authority to prescribe medication
  • Authority to prescribe treatment
  • Authority to refer clients to other professionals
  • Authority to admit patients to hospital
  • Legislation to confer and protect the title "Nurse Practitioner/Advanced Practice Nurse"
  • Legislation or some other form of regulatory mechanism specific to advanced practice nurses
  • Officially recognized titles for nurses working in advanced practice roles
