Independent practice
/ɪndɪpɛndʌnt/ /pɹæktʌs/
1. [noun] the following is an example related to independent nursing practice. ENSURE you review the regulatory requirements specific to your practice. From the BC College of Nursing Professionals All BCCNP registrants are required to practice in accordance with the College's Standards of Practice (Professional Standards, Practice Standards, Scope of Practice Standards). The intention of this guide is to provide a checklist to help identify your primary responsibilities as a self-employed registered nurse or nurse practitioner so that you practise according to related legislation, regulations, bylaws and standards. While BCCNP Standards of Practice, bylaws, policies and guidelines apply to RNs and NPs in all practice settings, there are some aspects of these that have particular importance for RNs and NPs who practise in a self-employed role. Note Each BCCNP registrant is accountable for the practice she or he provides to the public. BCCNP has developed resources to assist RNs and NPs to provide safe and ethical care. These resources are intended to support, not replace, the exercise of professional judgment of RNs and NPs. It is strongly recommended that persons interested in self-employed practice contact the Canadian Nurses Protective Society as well as consult a lawyer, accountant and/ or business consultant regarding contracts and business processes.

Frequently Asked Questions
How can understanding arch support improve my daily walking experience?
A well-supported arch helps evenly distribute weight during each step, reducing strain on both the foot and ankle. This balance during everyday activities like walking or standing can enhance comfort and stability.
What is a common misconception about ankle flexibility in foot health?
Many believe maximum ankle flexibility always leads to better movement. In fact, controlled flexibility combined with stability is essential for maintaining balance during daily activities, reducing the risk of issues in the foot and ankle.
Does knowing Latin roots of foot terms help in understanding foot care?
Yes, for example, the Latin word 'pes' means foot. Learning such etymology can reinforce why specific techniques target particular areas, enhancing overall awareness of foot and ankle mechanics during everyday motions.
How does independent self-care for your feet relate to everyday foot actions?
Practicing self-acupressure or simple stretching routines enables you to independently care for your foot and ankle health. Incorporating these routines into daily life can improve comfort and encourage proactive foot care.
