The scope of practice for APRNs consists of “parameters within which advanced practice nurses may legally practice”, defining “what they can do for and with patients, what they can delegate, and when collaboration with others is required.” 1 This scope of practices varies not only across APRN roles – CNS, CRNA, NP, CNM – but also across individual states.1 For the FNP specialty, scope of practice entails diagnosis and management of illnesses in the primary care setting for individuals across the…
