Art of caring and a science evidenced based practice

Here we are at week 5 of the course! Attached is the last extra article that I feel captures what we have been discussing that nursing is both an art of caring and a science evidenced based practice Feel free to share any points of the article that you feel are important.

The Regulatory environment

Explain how the regulatory environment and the regulations selected differ from California. Be specific and provide examples.

Advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs) play a significant role in improving health
care delivery (Martsolf et al., 2015). However, the scope of practice is governed by state-specific
regulations determined by APRN board of nursing regulation. In the state of Oregon,

one of the
APRN board of nursing regulations is the Oregon Chronic Opioid Prescribing Guidelines which
recommends the safe use of opioid medications for patients with chronic pain.

The other
regulation is the Scope of Practice Decision Tree, which presents a standardized framework for
use for all licensed nurses (Oregon State Board of Nursing, n.d.).

These nursing regulations in Oregon share some similarities and differences with the
regulations in other states. For instance, the Oregon Chronic Opioid Prescribing Guidelines are
similar to those of Ohio’s Prescriptive Authority described in chapters 4723-9 of the Ohio
Administrative Code.

This code provides regulations for prescribing opioids for acute, sub-acute
and chronic pain. However, the difference between Oregon’s and Ohio regulations is that Ohio
provides a formula for APRN prescribers while Oregon does not.

The other difference is that
Ohio has a specific decision-making model for APRNs (Ohio Board of Nursing, n.d.). Oregon,
on the other hand, has the Scope of Practice Decision Tree, which provide a framework for all
nurses irrespective of their education, role or functions (Oregon State Board of Nursing, n.d.).

The Oregon regulations may apply to advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs)
differently.

The Scope of Practice Decision Tree regulation applies to APRNs because it outlines
their scope of practice.

According to Blair and Jansen (2015), the scope of practice is essential
for APRNs because it helps nurses gain more knowledge.

Opioid Prescribing Guidelines are
essential because they identify the extent to which APRNs can prescribe. Ladd et al. (2019)
argued that the scope of practice and prescriptive authority is the function of state statute.

After following facility procedure for this incident, you are then to discuss this with the patient and the son.
