Survey of geriatric nurse practitioners in the West: scope of practice and effectiveness.
This survey research conducted during a 3-year period was designed to describe the scope of practice and effectiveness of the geriatric nurse practitioner (GNP) in providing health care to older adults in a variety of settings. The University of California, San Francisco, in collaboration with three other GNP programs surveyed graduates (n = 123). Also surveyed were administrators, directors of nursing, and the primary medical consultant where the GNPs were employed. A high degree of agreement among the professional groups was found. Some comparisons are made with the results of previous studies.
