Purpose: To present the Interaction Model of Client Health Behavior (IMCHB) as a model to guide nurse practitioners (NPs) in their practice.
Data Sources: Selected research-based articles on Cox's IMCHB and selected text and writings on the NP movement and nursing practice models.
Conclusions: Many NPs practice in a medical setting where the boundaries between medicine and nursing are blurred.
