Abstract:	This fifth edition discusses the evolution and future of advance practice nursing primarily for APN faculty and APN/NP practitioners, as well as for Leaders and Administrators in Education. Fully updated, revised, and expanded, the book comprehensively describes the historical and social context of advanced practice nursing; current and future issues in education, innovative clinical practices with case studies, licensing, certification and credentialing; the position of APN in the health care system; reimbursement; ethical, legal and regulatory aspects of practice; politics, policy development and promotion of APN; international developments; the future of APN; and provides resources to explore topics in greater depth. The book also presents a fresh, new perspective on the role of nurse practitioners in both small- and large-scale reform initiatives, including health promotion, disease management, the rapid spread of global disease, and the diminished economic and infrastructure capacity of many countries to meet their citizens' needs for care and health care personnel.
