Officially designated registered nurse (extended class), or RN(EC), NPs [nurse practitioners] are registered nurses with additional education who work with individuals, families, groups and communities. Like all registered nurses, their focus on health promotion and disease prevention facilitates comprehensive health-care reform. Key members of any health-care team, nurse practitioners work in diverse health-care settings, from community health centres to doctors' offices to hospitals, nursing homes and home care. They diagnose, prescribe and administer medications, order medical tests, conduct Pap smears, educate, and refer patients to other health-care professionals such as nutritionists and social workers. 3, record 1, English, - registered%20nurse%20extended%20class

En 1997, l'adoption d'une loi a donné aux infirmières praticiennes, infirmières autorisées (catégorie spécialisée), l'autorisation d'exécuter des actes qui dépassent les compétences d'une infirmière autorisée. De fait, les infirmières praticiennes sont autorisées à communiquer un diagnostic, à demander certains tests tels que des radiographies et échographies aux fins de diagnostic, à demander des électrocardiogrammes dans le cadre de soins non actifs, à prescrire et à administrer des médicaments désignés, et à demander certaines analyses de laboratoire. 4, record 1, French, - infirmi%C3%A8re%20autoris%C3%A9e%20%28cat%C3%A9gorie%20sp%C3%A9cialis%C3%A9e%29
