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

Le Réseau des traducteurs et traductrices en éducation rejette le terme «économie familiale» qui tend à disparaître en raison de la notion de famille qu'il comporte et qui restreint à tort le sens du terme. Quant au terme "sciences domestiques", d'usage peu fréquent, c'est un euphémisme qui peut induire en erreur, car il ne s'agit pas à proprement parler d'une «science». 4, record 2, French, - %C3%A9conomie%20domestique

The structure of the Union : The European Union is built on three pillars. The first, the Community pillar, is rooted in the treaties of Paris and Rome as modified by the Single European Act.... The second pillar consists of the common foreign and security activities of the European Union. Its provisions are laid down in a frame of mainly intergovernmental cooperation, with the Commission associated and the European Parliament consulted. Justice and home affairs are to constitute the third pillar, also operating in an intergovernmental mode, with the institutions of the EC as yet having no real power of decision-taking within the third pillar. 1, record 3, English, - third%20pillar
