Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS)

Paper Summary:

This paper proposes a study to determine whether a mechanism exists that links C-1 esterase inhibitor deficiency with Chronic Fatigue syndrome (CFS). FS is a clinically defined condition which is characterized by severe and disabling fatigue. It examines the problems faced by health care professionals in treating CFS patients since the etiology of the illness is not known. It attempts to determine whether CFS patients are characterized by a C-1 esterase inhibitor deficiency and whether replacement therapy for C-1 esterase inhibitor deficiency leads to improvements in patients' CFS status. It also looks at the significance of the study to nursing since advanced practice nurses play an important role in the delivery of care to CFS patients.

From the Paper:

"The role of the advanced practice nurse practitioner continues to expand. In the contemporary period, some of the more prominent of the roles performed by the advanced practice nurse practitioner are as follows: the role of the nurse practitioner as a care provider; the role of the nurse practitioner as a manager; the role of the nurse practitioner as a patient health educator; the role of the nurse practitioner as a consultant; the role of the nurse practitioner as a researcher; and the role of the nurse practitioner in relation to psychiatric and metal health nursing."
