In the US, health care practitioner usually refers to doctors and physicians...physicians assistants and Nurse practitioners...the ones with authority to prescribe and treat or order treatment.
as a health care practitioner, can you legally and ethically use any title you want? why?
Every health care provider must document his or her own care.
Health care providers are in the service of 'providing' medical treatment to patients. A provider may be a physician, a DO, nurse practitioner, PA. or such.
The quality of care provided by nurse practitioners has been demonstrated as equal to or better than that of physicians in many areas of health care, including chronic care of diabetes, HIV, and hypertension and preventive care. A wise patient will choose health care providers who can provide appropriate and evidence-based care, communicate well, and collaborate with other professionals on the health care team. In some cases, the health care provider will be a physician, and in other cases a nurse practitioner or other health care provider. It's not unusual for a patient to see a midwife for obstetric care, a surgeon for appendectomy, a nurse for diabetic teaching, and a nurse practitioner for routine gynecologic care.
nope, it is illegal

A health care provider will need to prescribe the medication for your partner. Many states have laws that allow expedited partner therapy, meaning that your health care provider can prescribe treatement for the partners of any patients with chlamydia without an appointment. Talk with your health care provider to see if this is possible in your area.
you should talk to your health care practitioner.
Health-care profesionals who may use the external fetoscope include a nurse practitioner, nurse midwife, and obstetrician.
Absolutely not! There are very serious consequences if you practice outside your scope. Laws are for the safety of the public, and licensing for health care practitioners is heavily regulated and strongly enforced. If you really want to be a health care practitioner, of any kind, then you must get the appropriate training, certification, and licensing that apply to the local, state, and federal agencies that are overseeing the type of practice you wish to pursue. In other words, don't even think about it!
Beets, Horseradish, radishes. This is an incomplete list: check with your health care practitioner. They can give you a printed list.
