The RN practices in the ambulatory care setting in accordance with the American Nurses Association (ANA) Standards of Professional Nursing Practice and the American Academy of Ambulatory Care Nursing (AAACN) Standards of Professional Ambulatory Care Nursing Practice. The RN provides evidence-based care to adult and pediatric patients consistent with current clinical practice guidelines. Responsibilities include comprehensive patient assessment, care planning, care coordination, allergy self-management education and support, patient and family education, medication management, quality improvement, evidence-based practice, interdisciplinary collaboration, patient advocacy, professional development, and effective resource utilization to optimize health outcomes for patients with allergy and immunologic conditions.

The RN provides care in compliance with applicable federal and state laws, Nurse Practice Acts, accreditation and regulatory requirements, organizational policies and procedures, and accepted professional standards.

The RN performs and oversees allergy testing, related treatments, and clinical procedures associated with the evaluation and management of allergic and immunologic conditions. Responsibilities include the safe administration and monitoring of allergen immunotherapy and other prescribed therapies, patient assessment before and after procedures, management of adverse reactions, comprehensive allergy self-management education and support, care coordination across the interdisciplinary team, and implementation of evidence-based interventions to optimize clinical outcomes and improve patient health.

The RN functions with a high degree of clinical autonomy under the medical direction of the physician, utilizing critical thinking and clinical judgment to assess patients, identify changes in condition, initiate appropriate nursing interventions, and escalate care when indicated.
