Differentiate the Major Regulatory Restrictions on NP Practice

Purpose

NPs have scopes of practice that are regulated by state laws, boards of nursing, boards of medicine and reimbursement that may differ depending on your location. There are several sources of restrictions to NP practice such as state laws and federal regulations which include who may prescribe controlled substances and which substances NPs can prescribe, as well as the various reimbursement agencies.

It is essential that the NP be fully informed of what they are allowed to do by law (state and federal) or by other regulatory organizations. These regulations vary widely from state to state. Consequences of practicing outside your scope of practice may be anything from a fine, suspension or revocation of your license, civil lawsuit, or even criminal charges.

Directions

Use the provided template to compare and contrast the three major regulatory practice models for NPs: Supervisory, Collaborative, and Independent. Please keep this assignment in the template format provided. This Assignment requires credible and up to date resources for each category. Include in each model at least one state that represents the scope of practice you are discussing. For example, Florida requires a supervisory relationship with a physician along with a practice agreement, formulary, and protocols. In order to apply and receive a DEA license to prescribe controlled substances, you must be approved by the state you are practicing in to prescribe these medications.

mental health researchers

Thank you for your initial discussion post.  It stimulated my thinking, so thank you for that.  Specifically on release of information waivers from patients and I remembered reading in the class cafe that you are from Miami and work in a psychiatric facility.  While working in transplant I would, with consent of the patient, have access to their electronic medical record at other hospitals.  However, one of the records we were not permitted to enter was the psychiatric evaluation due to the sensitivity of the information contained in those records.  What are your thoughts on mental health researchers using the confidential records of mental health patients to further evidenced based practices?  I have provided a link for you if you would like to refer to an article.

Safe, effective delivery of patient care requires that the nurse practitioner student understand the complexity of healthcare systems, the limits of human factors, safety design principles, characteristics of high reliability organizations, and patient safety resources. These components are critical to the preparation of safe clinicians and essential for 21st Century healthcare delivery.

Discuss how you met the Unit Two Objectives as well as barriers to safe practice that can occur if you come to the clinic setting unprepared. Support your discussion with evidence based practice and recommendations for improvement of safe patient care in the primary care setting.
