The use of acute care nurse practitioners in the adult critical care environment is well established. In the last several years, nurse practitioners are being used in the pediatric intensive care unit as well. Consequently, an increasing number of pediatric nurse practitioners have moved from primary care to the acute care environment. The recent development of the national acute care pediatric nurse practitioner certification examination provides validation of the education and standards of care provided by this subset of advanced practice nurses. The authors describe the highly successful pediatric critical care nurse practitioner program and its outcomes in a pediatric intensive care unit.
在成人重症监护环境中使用急症护理执业护士已得到充分认可。在过去几年里，急症护理执业护士也开始在儿科重症监护病房中得到应用。因此，越来越多的儿科急症护理执业护士从初级护理领域转向了急症护理环境。国家急症护理儿科执业护士认证考试的近期开展，验证了这一高级实践护士群体所提供的教育和护理标准。作者描述了一个非常成功的儿科重症护理执业护士项目及其在儿科重症监护病房中的成果。
