Solution

Advanced nurse practitioners are healthcare experts who have received extra education and training to gain the essential abilities and knowledge to conduct clinical assessments, diagnose medical conditions, make referrals, and offer treatment to patients with undiagnosed or undifferentiated health problems. These practitioners are nurses who have completed additional academic qualifications to improve their clinical skills. Advanced nurse practitioners are highly skilled healthcare professionals with extensive training and the expertise to perform complex patient evaluations similar to general practitioners. According to Lopes-Júnior (2021), healthcare providers can assess symptoms and develop a thorough understanding of a patient’s medical condition. They can provide treatment for minor health concerns, infections, and injuries and administer medication as deemed appropriate. Healthcare professionals can handle complex medical issues, including patients with chronic illnesses like diabetes and COPD. As a clinical leader, the Advanced Nurse Practitioner (ANP) has the freedom and authority to independently assess, diagnose, treat, and prescribe medication for patients with complex health problems. This means having the authority to refer patients, admit them to the appropriate clinical areas, and discharge them when necessary.
