Independent behavior of nurse practitioners: a survey of physician and nurse attitudes

E.M. Heiman and M.K. Dempsey

American Journal of Public Health, 1976, vol. 66, issue 6, 587-589

Abstract: A critical in defining the extended role of the nurse appears to be not so much the nurse's ability to function at a high technical level but the attitudes of nurses and physicians towards allowing the nurse real independence and power in clinical decision making. The object of this study is to clarify the attitudes of physicians and nurses toward independent behavior under varying clinical conditions for nurse practitioners in the extended role.
