The analysis of present and projected factors in child health care suggests that the future role of pediatric nurse practitioners is likely to be in settings other than the clinical office practice. The school is one setting in which pediatric nurse practitioners might provide preventive and well-child care to all children and additional services to children with special needs or with no access to traditional medical care. In this role, pediatric nurse practitioners are strengthened by their public health tradition. The knowledge they have accumulated in the course of serving communities provides the basis on which new approaches can be developed. The old title "Pediatric Public Health Nurse Practitioner" signifies most keenly the mission of the profession in child health care.
对儿童保健当前及预计因素的分析表明，儿科执业护士未来的角色可能并不局限于临床门诊实践。学校是儿科执业护士可为所有儿童提供预防保健及健康儿童护理，并为有特殊需求或无法获得传统医疗服务的儿童提供额外服务的场所之一。在这一角色中，儿科执业护士因其公共卫生传统而得到强化。他们在服务社区过程中积累的知识为开发新方法奠定了基础。旧称“儿科公共卫生执业护士”最能确切体现该职业在儿童保健方面的使命。
