The National Association of Pediatric Nurse Practitioners (NAPNAP) recommends that all nurse practitioners (NPs) be credentialed and privileged to perform services that allow them to practice to the full extent of their education, certification, and licensure. This recommendation is supported by the Institute of Medicine in the report The Future of Nursing: Leading Change, Advancing Health (Institute of Medicine, 2011). Through the process of credentialing and privileging, individual NPs demonstrate competence for the skills required of their role and responsibility.
美国国家儿科护士从业者协会（NAPNAP）建议，所有护士从业者（NP）都应获得资质认证并有资格提供相应服务，以使其能够在与其教育程度、认证资质和执照相符的范围内充分执业。医学研究所（Institute of Medicine）在《护理的未来：引领变革，促进健康》（医学研究所，2011年）报告中支持了这一建议。通过资质认证和资格授予过程，个体护士从业者证明其具备履行自身角色和职责所需技能的能力。
