Summary:

Delineates the competent levels of nursing care and professional role activities expected of all addictions nurses. Its scope of practice gives the context—the underlying assumptions, characteristics, environments and settings, education and training requirements, key issues and trends, and ethical and conceptual bases of the specialty—needed to understand and use the addictions nursing standards of practice. All addictions nurses are held accountable to these standards, which provide a framework for evaluating outcomes, goals, and their specialty practice. The set of specific competencies accompanying each standard serves as evidence of minimal compliance with that standard.
