Nursing specialty practice guidelines: the implications for clinical scholarship and early intervention practice. American Nurses' Association

Specialty practice guidelines provide the nursing profession with the opportunity to examine, document, and revise practice, thus contributing to clinical scholarship and nursing science. The development and evaluation of one particular specialty practice guideline, the Children with Special Health Care Needs Guidelines, and the implications for early intervention practice are described. Recommendations for clinical research and usage for the Education of the Handicapped Act Amendment of 1986 (Public Law 99-457) are included.
