Two advanced nursing practice roles are recognized in Canada: the clinical nurse specialist and the nurse practitioner.  Clinical nurse specialists provide expert nursing care and play a leading role in the development of clinical guidelines and protocols.  They promote the use of evidence, provide expert support and consultation, and facilitate the system change.  Nurse practitioners provide direct care, focusing on health promotion and the treatment and management of health conditions.  They have an expanded scope of practice and can diagnose, order and interpret diagnostic tests.  They can also prescribe medications and perform certain procedures.
