Advanced practice nurses (APNs) in the specialty fields of acute and critical care are Master-prepared registered nurses who provide medical and nursing care to patients in the environmental care settings of clinics, hospitals, and the home. Advanced practice nurses include clinical nurse specialists, nurse practitioners, and nurse anesthetists in these health care environments. This reference list is maintained for the use of all healthcare professionals who are interested in the role and outcomes of APNs who practice in acute and critical care specialties. References are listed from 1992 to 1998.
