Ambulatory care nursing is a unique realm of nursing practice. It is characterized by efficient, focused assessments of patients. Ambulatory care nursing encounters may occur face-to-face or via telephone or other communication devices. The nurse in the ambulatory care setting assesses the patient’s needs by collecting subjective and objective health status data from the patient or the patient’s care giver, and communicates this data to the health care provider. The ambulatory nurse may triage based on this data. The ambulatory nurse prioritizes the information collected based on the patient’s condition, the situation, and/or anticipated needs, and implements a plan of care in collaboration with the authorized provider, and evaluates the response of the prescribed treatment. The ambulatory nurse communicates and educates the health care provider’s instructions for care to the patient or the patient’s caregiver. Ambulatory care nursing is a specialty practice area that is characterized by dealing with situations and issues that are not always predictable.
Professional nursing is a scientific process founded on a professional body of knowledge.
