Medical guidelines are intended to inform general practice in respective medical specialties. These are things that doctors (MD, DO) and advanced practice nurses (APRN, DNP, PhD) control as they are responisble for the diagnosis and treatment of conditions. Nurses also rely on guidelines pertaining to nursing care and nurse-controlled proceedures.
