Seeing the nurse practitioner before a trip abroad
Assignment
The day has come for the patient to see the nurse practitioner before his trip abroad. By having a “pretravel assessment at least 6 weeks before departure, the provider may assess the timing, duration, and circumstances of travel. Michelle Zappas Candice Whitely and Sarah Carter p. 548 2019.” When the patient is travelling abroad, it depends on what country or countries the patient is visiting as to what if any vaccinations are required. The nurse practitioner must remain current with regards to the latest recommendation from the CDC and WHO for travel advisories. (JNP, 2019, p. 548). The primary care NP’s are uniquely positioned to protect the health and well-being of the patient and local community Zappas, Whitely, & Carter.
