TOPIC Clinical expertise, patient values, optimum safe care

DIRECTIONS Complex and even “simple” nursing interventions may consist of several steps or components and may require various resources (additional personnel or equipment) to safely implement depending on individual patient characteristics. For example, bathing a patient who is morbidly obese with chest tubes, central lines, and is unconscious and intubated can make this seemingly simple task a multi-person undertaking to insure patient safety and wellbeing.

“Factors such as the strength . . . of an intervention and the resources required for delivering it (e.g., personnel, setting and equipment) are rarely described, nor are extraneous variables such as contextual or environmental features and patient characteristics, which can significantly influence the intervention process . . . (Sidani & Braden, 1998)” (Thompson and Clark, 2012, p. 277).

Think of a nursing intervention that you have performed on a specific (complex) patient. Consider these “factors” and carefully outline each step to illustrate the actual detail of this intervention, noting the influence of extraneous variables and clinical expertise. Note a “take away” from this eye opening exercise. This may be in an essay format or as a concept map to illustrate the intervention and intertwining elements.

Discuss how and where you might apply the new knowledge to your current (or future) nursing practice.

In this discussion, reflect on the history and development of the doctorate of nursing practice (DNP). Also, refer to the Doctor of Nursing Practicetext reading and the AACN’s “The Essentials of Doctoral Education for Advanced Nursing Practice” to address the following:

Compare and contrast the inquiry processes of the DNP and the Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Nursing.

As you develop your post, consider these questions based on your readings this week:

What do you see as the major impetus for the DNP degree?

How does this degree differ from the PhD?

How will you apply the DNP degree in practice?

Who are the key stakeholders and how did they add credence and credibility to the DNP?

Remember to follow APA guidelines for citing and referencing your sources.

Response Guidelines

Respond to two learners. Suggest ways the DNP might add to their skills and knowledge, and suggest ways their nursing practice will change as a result of this degree.

Discussion Participation Scoring Guide.

A final step in each part of your DNP program is an evaluation of each course, reflection on what you have learned, and a consideration of how you can apply this new knowledge and new skills to your professional practice.

For this discussion, write a brief evaluation of what you have learned in this course and how you will apply your new knowledge and skills to your professional career and your development as a doctorally prepared nurse professional. Your discussion post should include the following:

Discuss the leadership capacity you currently have and how you see this evolving as a DNP leader interacting with health care teams with diverse backgrounds.

Identify at least two areas of new knowledge that you have acquired.

Discuss how and where you might apply the new knowledge to your current (or future) nursing practice.

As a result of this course, what have you learned about your own strengths and weaknesses in developing a clinical question?

What knowledge gaps still exist related to the content in this course? How will you fill those gaps?

Your initial post should be succinct but at least 150 words, and should demonstrate clarity of thought and precision in writing. Use examples to support your reflection. Evidence-based references are not required for this discussion.

Refer to the Vann (2012) article to discuss the relationship between leadership and mentoring.

DIRECTIONS MENTORING: “Mentoring in nursing encompasses a guided experience, formally or informally assigned, over a mutually agreed-on period, that empowers the mentor and mentee to develop personally and professionally within the auspices of a caring, collaborative, culturally competent, and respectful environment” (Grossman as cited in Vann, 2012)

According to Vann (2012), mentoring encourages collaboration and leadership development.

Refer to the Vann (2012) article to discuss the relationship between leadership and mentoring. (Must use citations within your journal)

Reflect on your own clinical experience with leadership and mentoring (mentor or mentee) opportunities.
