What do Adult Health Nurse Practitioners do?
Adult Health Nurse Practitioners (NPs) provide primary or specialty care to adults and older adults by performing exams, diagnosing and treating illnesses, and prescribing medications.
Their responsibilities include ordering and interpreting diagnostic tests, creating treatment and care plans, and educating patients on health management and lifestyle changes.
They also collaborate with other healthcare professionals to coordinate patient care and may specialize in areas such as acute or primary care (adult-gerontology).
What they do
Patient assessment: Conduct physical exams, record medical histories, and assess a patient’s overall health status.
Diagnosis: Diagnose and manage acute and chronic illnesses, injuries, and health conditions.
Diagnostic testing: Order and interpret diagnostic tests like blood work and X-rays.
Treatment and prescriptions: Prescribe medications, treatments, and therapies to manage conditions and promote wellness.
Care planning: Develop and manage comprehensive care plans tailored to individual patient needs.
Patient education: Educate patients and their families about health conditions, medications, treatments, and healthy lifestyle choices.
Collaboration: Work with physicians, specialists, and other healthcare providers to ensure coordinated care.
Record keeping: Maintain accurate and detailed patient medical records.
Referrals: Refer patients to specialists or other healthcare resources as needed.
Environments and Specialization
Work settings: Adult Health NPs can work in a variety of settings, including hospitals, primary care clinics, specialty practices, and long-term care facilities.
Specializations: They may specialize in different areas depending on their training and certification. For example, an adult-gerontology primary care NP focuses on primary care for adults, while an adult-gerontology acute care NP focuses on care for patients with complex, acute conditions.
