Abstract

The Clinical Nurse Specialist impacts the client with chronicity by strategic management of cost and quality outcomes. Three enabling strategies: counseling, social support, and teaching-learning are the tools the nurse and client use to implement long-term lifestyle adjustment to chronicity. Reduced health care system utilization and increased self-esteem and self-care abilities are the result of the strategies. Lifestyle management warrants further nursing research.
