Based on my personal experience as a nurse, there are differences between clinical practice guidelines, standards, and algorithms. However, to facilitate my endeavors as a nurse, I will need to apply all these aspects.
To begin with, clinical practice guidelines refer to the recommendations provided in the nursing profession regarding how a medical practitioner should handle special conditions (Shekelle, 2016). As alleged by the Institute of Medicine, practice guidelines aim at optimizing patient care based on evidence and experience. Conversely, clinical algorithms are formats in texts that facilitate the decision-making process. The texts include the sequences of clinical decisions which are to be applied when providing patient care (Registered Nurses of British Columbia, 2016). The algorithms are, thus, compared in relation to their effectiveness in decision analysis. Finally, practice standards are a set of rules and regulations established by the American Nursing Association, which nurses are required to follow to provide quality services to the patients

Imagine that the president of Grand City University is considering recommendation of a competency-based learning program. A committee including faculty members and administrators has done extensive research and conducted a pilot program about implementing competency-based courses for several of the health science programs. These new programs would cover post-baccalaureate coursework that are prerequisite content for admission to graduate programs, including nursing and pharmacy. The president needs to make a decision about whether to approach the legislature for funds for this program and has asked you to prepare a paper examining the issue.
To prepare:
• Research colleges or universities that have adopted one or more competency-based programs.
• Research that institution’s mission.
• Consider how the competency-based program supports the institution’s mission.
To complete:
Write a 3- to 4-page paper in which you do the following:
• Identify the university that has adopted a competency-based program.
• Analyze the institution’s mission and whether or not it supports competency-based learning.
• Considering Grand City University:
o Make a case for or against the competency-based model at Grand City University.
o Explain to legislators the benefits or the possible drawbacks.
o Identify 2–3 differences in costs for competency-based learning compared to a traditional course.
