All patients with tobacco use and dependency (TUD) would benefit from
accessible, effective care whether they have been diagnosed with a mental
health condition or not. Therefore, all nurses would benefit from foundational
competency in providing TUD care. The APNA tobacco competencies, developed by
experts in treating tobacco use and dependence, are written with the PMH RN and
APRN in mind but can be adapted by nurses of all specialties. These
competencies are designed to be interpreted and adapted in any clinical setting
for treating patients with TUD inclusive of any diagnostic group, age group,
race or ethnicity, gender orientation, or socioeconomic background.
