You are the acute gerontology acute care nurse practitioner (AGACNP) working in an ICU in a rural hospital setting. You have worked hard to get everyone educated on the role of the AGACNP, when a traveling physician is assigned to your unit who has never worked with NPs. He thinks that NPs are merely a Supervising or Managing nurse type of position. Despite repeated “hints” he just doesn’t understand your role and how you benefit the patients. You decide to provide him with educational and informative data to support your role.
Then in a minimum of 2 pages complete the following using evidence to support your argument
1. Defend the role of the AGACNP as a leader of the interdisciplinary team.
2. Defend the role of the AGACNP as it relates to patient outcomes.
