The Registered Nurse (RN) uses the nursing process—assessment, diagnosis, outcomes and planning, implementation, and evaluation—to provide individualized nursing care to patients. The RN collaborates with physicians and other interprofessional colleagues to plan, implement, and evaluate care, and practices within the full scope of nursing expertise and knowledge using age- and population-specific standards for the assigned clinical setting. The RN cares for patients across preventive care, health maintenance, diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up as they move through the continuum of care. Responsibilities include planning and coordinating care, patient assessment, education, triage, and other nursing interventions. The RN practices in accordance with the Nurse Practice Act and applicable administrative rules in the state of practice and licensure, as well as the American Nurses Association Scope and Standards of Practice and Code of Ethics for Nurses.
