本研究的目的是描述在田纳西州的执业护士（NP）的实践模式-特别是，他们的客户和他们提供的治疗服务的人口特征和健康问题。在田纳西州的初级保健中，每周练习20小时或更长时间的NPs的随机样本提供了在一个选定的护理日期间共680名客户的数据。一个工具改编自全国门诊医疗调查（NAMCS）允许比较NP的调查结果与全国调查的办公室为基础的医生在五个领域：客户人口统计，客户健康状况，诊断测试订购，提供治疗干预措施，和客户处置。虽然有许多相似之处，不同之处包括倾向于照顾更多的年轻和女性客户，进行较少的办公室外科手术，并提供更多的健康教育/咨询干预。
This study's purpose was to describe the practice patterns of nurse practitioners (NPs) in Tennessee--specifically, the demographic characteristics and health problems of their clients and the therapeutic services they provide. A random sample of NPs practicing 20 or more hours per week in primary care in Tennessee provided data on a total of 680 clients seen during one selected day of care. An instrument adapted from the National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey (NAMCS) allowed comparison of the NP findings with a national survey of office-based physicians in five areas: client demographics, client health status, diagnostic tests ordered, therapeutic interventions provided, and client disposition. Although many similarities were seen, differences included the tendency of NPs to care for more younger and female clients, to perform fewer office surgical procedures, and to provide more health teaching/counseling interventions.
