The necessity for role expansion arises from several key factors: - Healthcare Demands: With an aging population and the rise of chronic diseases, there is a greater need for comprehensive and continuous care. - Shortage of Physicians: The scarcity of physicians, especially in rural and underserved areas, necessitates the delegation of certain medical tasks to nurses. - Technological Advancements: Innovations in medical technology require a more skilled and knowledgeable nursing workforce. - Policy and Regulatory Changes: Health policies increasingly recognize the capability of nurses to conduct a wider range of medical procedures.
