Guidance for Nurse Prescription and Management of Antiretroviral Therapy

Guidance for Nurse Prescription and Management of Antiretroviral Therapy

provides a roadmap for conceptualizing and initiating the expansion of the

nursing scope of practice to include ART prescription and management.

It describes processes that HIV program implementers can use to consider the

need for, and implications of, nurse-prescribed and nurse-managed ART in

resource constrained settings. It also considers additional resources that may

be necessary to introduce the new practice to current healthcare facilities.

 

Guidance for Nurse Prescription and Management of Antiretroviral Therapy is the

first in a new series, New Directions in Healthcare for Resource-Limited

Settings.

 

Health science and quality healthcare is constantly evolving, and this series is

dedicated to helping health planners and implementers in resource-limited

settings access the most current knowledge and strategic approaches to most

benefit the caregivers and recipients.

FHI conceived the New Directions series to highlight important strategic

approaches and state-of-the-science health delivery practices.
