Manual Guide Information for Nurse Practitioners
Nurse practitioners are registered nurses who have achieved additional competencies required for registration as a nurse practitioner with the College of Registered Nurse of British Columbia (CRNBC). They provide services from a holistic nursing perspective, integrating elements such as diagnosing, prescribing, ordering diagnostic tests and managing common acute conditions and chronic illnesses into their practice.
As a health practitioner working in a broad variety of settings where there is a health system need, including acute care, residential care, mental health and community practice, the nurse practitioner manages common acute and chronic illness and offers preventative health education and planning that encourages clients to be as healthy as possible and take an active role in health care decisions. A nurse practitioner is part of a health care team and can meet many primary health care needs commonly performed by physicians; however, the medical conditions that nurse practitioners are able to take responsibility for are less complicated than those treated by a physician.
The legal authority for the nurse practitioner scope of practice is set out in the Nurses (Registered) and Nurse Practitioners Regulation under the Health Professions Act. The Regulation assigns reserved actions to nurse practitioners for activities such as: making a diagnosis to identify a disease, disorder or condition; ordering diagnostic services; and prescribing and dispensing drugs. As specified in the Regulation, these activities are provided in accordance with standards, limits and conditions established by the CRNBC.
