Nurse prescribing for contraceptive care and sexual health.

چکیده
Journal of Family Planning and Reproductive Health Care 2004: 30(4) Background The Royal College of Nursing first proposed that nurses should be able to prescribe the combined pill in 1975. It has taken almost 30 years for this idea to become reality. The authority to prescribe represents much more than the right to sign for a plan of treatment or care. It also signifies an ability to assess, diagnose and evaluate. The advent of nurse prescribing is therefore a significant milestone in nursing history. Nurses working in family planning clinics (FPCs) who opt to become prescribers will be liberated to initiate all types of contraception – from combined oral contraceptive pills, progestogen-only pills, injectables to intrauterine devices/systems – from the Nurse Prescribers’Extended Formulary.1
