Family Nurse Questions Review

The Family Nurse Practitioner FNP meets the health care needs of the

family by providing health assessments, direct care, and guidance,

teaching, or counseling as appropriate, particularly around family

self-care. The FNP typically works collaboratively with family primary

care physicians and other professionals within the health care system.

In addition to conventional practice in an office, clinic, or ambulatory

care center, the FNP may follow families in a variety of settings, such as

school, home, work place, or hospital, dependent upon client need.
