This article looks into the topic of an APRN's scope of practice, most specifically in the Acute Care setting. Although this article focuses on APRN's in the acute care setting, it makes an important statement that APRN's are not limited by the setting in which they practice, but rather by the need of the patient they are seeing. In addition to managing emergent and acute conditions, APRNs are also responsible for placing a large emphasis on health promotion and disease prevention when interacting with their patients.
