    The topic of my capstone project is to educate other members of the team such as respiratory therapist, pharmacist, and radiology technicians about the scope of practice and the role of the nurse practitioners in different settings including the emergency department. Many of these co-workers have a lack of information about the skills, duties, and responsibilities of the nurse practitioners and sometimes this can delay treatment for patients due to clarifications for orders.

Pain rating scales are used in the clinical settings to measure pain and these include Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), Verbal Rating Scale (VRS), Numerical/numeric Rating Scale (NRS) (Haefeli & Elfering, 2006).

    We appraised the strength of the evidence across published SRs and MAs of MMRPs for prevalent clinical pain conditions and our primary analysis found that among 134 associations less than half produced significant results at P-value ≤0.05 under random-effects modelling. The proportion of significant results shrunk to almost 11% when a more strict threshold was applied (P-value <0.001). Additionally, none of the statistically significant results presented either convincing or highly suggestive evidence. Only a trivial quantity was supported by suggestive evidence. These pertained to MMRPs associations merely for LBP and mainly for short-term outcomes.
