A. A family nurse practitioner is a registered professional nurse who has completed a graduate education program (Master of Arts or Master of Science) in nursing. There are numerous nurse practitioner specialties, including Family Health, Psychiatric Mental Health, Adult Health, Geriatric Health, Womens Health, Pediatric Health, and Acute Care. A family nurse practitioner meets the primary health care needs of the family by providing health assessments, direct care and guidance, teaching, or counseling as appropriate, particularly around family self-care.
