Clinical Nurse Specialist
The CNS has a unique APRN role to integrate
care across the continuum and through three
spheres of influence: patient, nurse, system.
The three spheres are overlapping and
interrelated but each sphere possesses a
distinctive focus.
In each of the spheres of influence, the
primary goal of the CNS is continuous
improvement of patient outcomes and
nursing care.
26


Key elements of CNS practice are to create
environments through mentoring and system
changes that empower nurses to develop caring,
evidence-based practices to alleviate patient distress,
facilitate ethical decision-making, and respond to
diversity.
The CNS is responsible and accountable for diagnosis
and treatment of health/illness states, disease
management, health promotion, and prevention of
illness and risk behaviors among individuals, families,
groups, and communities.
27

The NP program at EMU is a primary care NP
program. The primary care role is often best
suited for positions in the community, such
as medical care offices, urgent care centers,
etc. Primary care NP’s are generally not found
in settings such as the ED or ICU’s. NP’s in
these settings usually need preparation in
acute care.
28




Nurse Practitioner
For the certified nurse practitioner (CNP) care along
the wellness-illness continuum is a dynamic
process in which direct primary and acute care is
provided across settings.
CNPs are members of the health delivery system,
practicing autonomously in areas as diverse as
family practice, pediatrics, internal medicine,
geriatrics, and women’s health care.
CNPs are prepared to diagnose and treat patients
with undifferentiated symptoms as well as those
with established diagnoses.
29


Both primary and acute care CNPs provide initial,
ongoing, and comprehensive care, includes
taking comprehensive histories, providing
physical examinations and other health
assessment and screening activities, and
diagnosing, treating, and managing patients with
acute and chronic illnesses and diseases.
This includes ordering, performing, supervising,
and interpreting laboratory and imaging studies;
prescribing medication and durable medical
equipment; and making appropriate referrals for
patients and families.
30

Clinical CNP care includes health promotion,
disease prevention, health education, and
counseling as well as the diagnosis and
management of acute and chronic diseases.
