Report on Adoption of Nurse Prescribing_2
EVIDENCE CRITIQUE 3Evidence Critique1) ContextThe nursing prescribing role is important because it expands the scope of the nursing practice, improves the quality of care and allows nurses to offer holistic care. I think this role is vital because it has created new nursing roles, allowed genuine autonomy and benefited the patients. It allows better access to medicines and smooth service delivery. The tenet of nursing prescribing is that patients would experience less delay in getting medicines [ CITATION Dow16 \l 1033 ]. The number of unessential appointments and the risk of hospitalisation would be reduced.Recent studies reveal that the standard of the care delivered by nurse prescribers is equivalent to that delivered by the traditional model of care [ CITATION Car111 \l 1033 ]. Based on a personal opinion, patients would report a high level of satisfaction and confidence if they receive care from a nurse prescriber.In Singapore, the advanced practice nursing is a hybrid of Clinical Nurse Specialist (CNS) and Nurse Practitioner (NP) programmes [ CITATION Ayr14 \l 1033 ]. Although the advanced nursing practice has come a long way, nurses in Singapore have not been given the prescribing role. Research on the nursing prescribing role is still minimal. However, the Ministryof Health (MOH) is planning to expand the role of nurses by offering experienced nurses the rights to prescribe[ CITATION Gan14 \l 1033 ]. The nurses might only be allowed to prescribe for stable patients only.
