摘要:

Nurse practitioners in many states still struggle to gain prescriptive authority, while those who have this authorization often face complex regulations governing their prescriptive privileges. Forward progress calls for NPs with prescriptive authority to participate in studies that provide policymakers with relevant data promoting regulatory reforms. This article reviews the literature on NP prescribing, presents a model of trends in NP-prescribing research, and alerts NPs to areas in need of further study.

摘要:

Because of new preventive therapies, HIV-antibody testing of asymptomatic individuals now has clear clinical benefits. Consequently, greater numbers of individuals are expected to seek testing. This article, based on the authors' experiences with disclosing HIV-antibody test results to a high-risk group of men, makes recommendations for how best to present HIV-antibody results. Disclosing HIV-antibody results provides an educational opportunity as well as a psychological challenge for clinicians. Some unusual client reactions are detailed in the case studies.
