[The advanced practice nurse as a health care influencer]

The skills that advanced practice nurses use with patients, health care professionals and within the health care system enable them to exercise real leadership. The use of conceptual models and theories in nursing, tools for tracking and valuing clinical judgment, and nursing diagnoses and other concepts are essential to guaranteeing their disciplinary identity and ensuring interprofessional collaboration.

[Nursing clinical judgement in situations of restraint]

Coercive measures such as seclusion and restraint, which are sometimes used in psychiatry, remain current practices. According to literature, these interventions are particularly complex for the nurses implementing them. In situations of seclusion and restraint, these professionals focus in particular on the nurse-patient relationship, the patient's safety and the respect of their humanity. Training is possible to help nurses manage these situations and improve their approach to the clinical judgement.
