Given that many current models of care struggle to meet the needs of their populations, alternate models of care must be explored. Nurse practitioners (NPs) scope of practice and professional regulation  \nmake them an ideal choice to provide wound care. The provision of wound care by NPs can be independent or in collaboration with other healthcare providers.  \nReview Objective  \nThe objective of this literature review is to explore the state of knowledge regarding wound care provided by NPs or Advanced Practice Nurses (APN) in countries without a defined NP role. The concept of interest is the global participation of NPs in the provision of wound management, whether independently or as a part of a team.  \nBackground  \nThe role of the NP is recognized by many countries across the world. NPs practice in countries such as the United States (U.S. ), United Kingdom (U. K. ), Australia, New Zealand, Hungary, Canada, Ireland, Israel, and Jamaica.1-3  \nAlthough the NP role varies from country to country, the majority of countries recognize NP as a protected title. In fact, most countries require graduate-level education, registration, certification and credentialing for NPs.1,4,5  \nContinued on page 5  \n* Corresponding [author morrells@uwindsor.ca](author morrells@uwindsor.ca)  \n 3  \nTREATMENT  \nWound management provided by nurse practitioners: a literature review  \nContinued from page 3  \nSome countries do not require protected titles while others have APNs without a defined NP role.1 In countries that have NPs, advanced health assessments, diagnostic testing, screenings, and the prescription of medications is performed by NPs.3 In these countries, the role of the NP is directed towards prevention, health education, monitoring chronic  \ndisease, and coordination of care.3 NPs work autonomously with client populations in a variety of healthcare settings such as clinics, primary and acute care facilities, rehab, curative and palliative care settings, private physician practices, nursing homes, schools, colleges, and public health departments.1,6,7  \nRegistration through a regulatory body provides the NP with the authority to practice at an advanced level. However, the authority granted by regulatory bodies varies by country. In Australia and Canada, NPs have been granted the authority to diagnose conditions, order and interpret diagnostic tests, prescribe medications (including controlled substances), provide treatments, consult or refer to specialists, and provide ongoing patient management.8,9 Practice regulation in the U.S. varies by state and falls into one of the following practice regulations: 1) full practice, which allows NPs to evaluate patients, diagnose conditions, provide treatments, prescribe medications (including controlled substances), order and interpret diagnostic tests; 2) reduced practice, requiring a career-long collaborative agreement with a health care provider, or limits one or more elements of practice and 3) restricted practice, which restricts the ability of NPs in at least one area of practice, with  \nrequirements of career-long supervision.10 In Ireland, NPs manage and treat chronic diseases, prescribe medications, and order diagnostic and laboratory tests. The U. K. authorizes NPs to diagnose conditions, manage care, and order diagnostic tests.11 Standar","cbCaieGkTnB0JC9a","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaieGkTnB0JC9a","pdf",119503,"English","# Introduction\n## Review Objective\n## Background\n# Literature Review\n## Search Methods and Limitations\n# Wound Management Provided by Nurse Practitioners Findings","[{\"question\":\"What is the review objective regarding nurse practitioners and wound care?\",\"answer\":\"The objective is to explore the state of knowledge about wound care provided by NPs or advanced practice nurses in countries without a defined NP role, focusing on global participation in wound management either independently or within teams.\"},{\"question\":\"Which databases and search terms were used in the literature review?\",\"answer\":\"The review searched CINAHL and Ovid MEDLINE using keywords including nurse practitioner, registered nurse extended class, advanced practice nurse, wound care, and wound management, with searches restricted to English-language articles.\"},{\"question\":\"What kinds of wound-care settings are reported for nurse practitioners?\",\"answer\":\"The findings indicate NPs provide wound care in settings such as emergency departments, acute care, long-term care facilities, military, urology clinics, primary care, and community settings, with many articles originating from Australia.\"}]","Wound management provided by nurse practitioners - a literature review | PDF",1789971672,13]
