    The CRNA classification is distinguished from the Nurse Practitioner (NP) classification in that the NP provides primary care and urgent care services to patients, performs physical examinations to evaluate patients’ health, and diagnoses illnesses, whereas the CRNA evaluates pre-operative conditions and administers anesthetics to manage patients undergoing surgical procedures.
