Nurses have been functioning in expanded roles as nurse practitioners (NPs) since 1965. The role has been characterized by controversy regarding economics, scope of practice, level of independence, accountability, and training since its inception. This article examines the response of the medical community to NPs during the first 15 years of their development. The medical literature from 1967 through 1982 was examined through a Medline search to ascertain the issues, attitudes, and barriers to practice that evolved as a foundation for understanding the present response of medicine to NPs.
自1965年以来，护士一直以执业护士（NP）的身份发挥着扩展后的作用。自该角色诞生以来，一直存在着关于经济、执业范围、独立程度、问责制和培训等方面的争议。本文探讨了医学界在执业护士发展的头15年里对他们的反应。通过医学在线数据库检索1967年至1982年的医学文献，以确定那些逐渐形成的问题、态度和执业障碍，这些内容构成了理解医学界目前对执业护士反应的基础。
