“This is a unique book that focuses on the language and interactional practices of nurse practitioners in the current U.S. healthcare setting. This novel resource intends to move forward the area of linguistic research that to date has focused primarily on physician‐patient communications.” (Kathleen M. Woodruff, Doody's Book Reviews, June 28, 2019)

“Nurse Practitioners and the Performance of Professional Competency: Accomplishing Patient-Centered Care is a well-researched, linguistically nuanced and clearly written exploration of practically relevant discursive practices in clinical interactions between nurse practitioners and their patients.  Staci Defibaugh's volume on the crucial interrelationships between language use and the enactment of professional competency in this under-researched profession will be a welcome addition to the library of students, researchers, and healthcare professionals alike.” (Heidi E. Hamilton, Department of Linguistics at Georgetown University, USA)“Dr. Defibaugh has given us a highly useful addition to the provider-patient realm of health communication scholarship. With strong theoretical foundations, this work reveals the techniques providers deploy that help patients preserve their autonomy and also accomplish the professional goals of the provider. Clearly written, this is an easy read thatis also powerful, intriguing and will be a valuable resource to many.” (Marian Huhman, Department of Communication at University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, USA)
