Scenario:
Provide you with two articles that address challenges in advanced nursing credentialing and barriers to physician practice after criminal charges. Please integrate these issues in your conversations on legal issues surrounding nursing and physician credentialing.
• Analyze the different and overlapping general roles of physicians and nurses as they apply to professional credentialing and subsequent patient safety and satisfaction. Determine the major ways in which these overlapping roles may help play a part in health professional credentialing processes and conduct, and identify and analyze the ethical role these influences play in health care.
• Analyze the major professional roles played by physicians and nurses as they apply to physicians' conduct in the medical arena and to nurses in the role of adjuncts to physicians. Evaluate the degree and quality of care that physicians, nurses, and medical technologists provide in their primary roles, including, but not limited to, patient safety and satisfaction as required in 21st Century U.S. hospitals.
