Nurses are also increasingly responsible for the continual review and examination of nursing practice (using innovative, continuous quality improvement approaches), as well as applying basic research to finding creative solutions for patient care problems and the development of new models for the delivery of nursing care. Increasingly, nurses will provide more primary care through community-based programs providing health promotion and early recognition and prevention of illness. Nurses’ role as patient educator is being extended by means of multimedia programs and the Internet. At the same time nurses must assume greater responsibility for assisting the public to become discriminating users of information as they select, sort, interpret, evaluate, and use the vast volumes of facts available across the Internet.
