title: The CNS in multidisciplinary pulmonary rehabilitation: a nursing science perspective.
abstract: Although nursing has been described as having an important role to play in the process of pulmonary rehabilitation, the extant literature on multidisciplinary pulmonary rehabilitation has not included a clear articulation of that role or its unique scientific base. The meaning of nursing science-based advanced practice to the team-oriented process of pulmonary rehabilitation is explored from the perspective of Parse's theory of human becoming. Philosophical notions informing practice from this perspective, as well as theory-based advanced nursing practice in pulmonary rehabilitation, are examined. CNS subroles of practice and research are discussed as essential avenues to development of this human science-based approach to advanced practice.
