They provide consultation, education, and direction to clients and their families, as well as other healthcare providers. Nurse practitioners (A) provide primary healthcare services and have advanced training and education in a specific area of practice. Nurse entrepreneurs (B) are nurses who own and operate their own businesses. Nurse educators (D) teach and train nursing students or other healthcare providers, and may also develop curricula and educational programs.
