What type of patients can a NP evaluate?
Nurse Practitioners are qualified to see patients of all ages in various settings, but PPH expresscare NPs meet the needs of patients two years and older. The core philosophy of the field is individualized care. Nurse Practitioners focus on patients’ conditions as well as the effects of illness on the lives of the patients and their families. NPs make prevention, wellness, and patient education priorities. This can mean fewer prescriptions and less expensive treatments. Informing patients about their health care and encouraging them to participate in decisions are central to the care provided by NPs. In addition to health care services, NPs conduct research and are often active in patient advocacy activities.
