In the state of Arizona, a collaborating physician agreement is not required for an NP to practice. It is, however, pertinent to understand the content of a collaborative practice agreement. The document should outline the scope of practice for the NP, practice protocols, physician consultation, record review, resolution of disagreements, and alteration of agreement. The document should be reviewed and discussed by both the NP and collaborating physician and signed and dated.
