Abstract
How advanced practice nursing is defined primarily emanates from nurses’ basic functions and responsibilities, where traditional nursing tasks are preserved, but also includes some functions and responsibility areas that have been expanded to an advanced level. To facilitate recognition of the role, its practice, and its implementation in a country’s health system as a whole, each country should clearly define what an advanced practice nursing role entails. Through definitions it is possible to identify new roles, including new areas of responsibility and limitations, in clinical practice. Definitions provide an overview of the type of nursing, care, treatment and services that can be expected from the person engaging in a certain practice. In this chapter, the concept “advanced practice nursing” is described and defined from an international perspective. Thereafter follows a brief introduction to the Caring advanced practice nursing model and how it and its central concepts can be defined, as well as a reflection on the difference between the specialist and advanced levels.
