1. After reading Part IV of the Goudreau & Smolenski text and other resources this week you have been exposed to policy focused on improving care delivery to patients. There are several issues currently at the forefront of nursing organization agendas. One AONL agenda is the Title VIII Reauthorization Act which is needed to bolster funding to support nursing programs at all levels and settings, including rural and medically underserved areas. https://www.aonl.org/advocacy/key-issues/title-viii-reauthorization Similarly, there is a push for extending full-practice authority to APRNs. https://www.nursingworld.org/~49f695/globalassets/docs/ana/ethics/principles-aprnfullpracticeauthority.pdf Using the “Conducting a Political Environment Scan” found in this week’s readings, outline what is necessary for the DNP nurse to assist in reforming one of these policies? 2. Health Care Providers (HCPs), including APRNs, have a dual responsibility: to identify trustworthy information for both personal and patient use and to guide patients in accessing reliable consumer-targeted information, blogs, and support groups. APRNs are in a position to advise and/or counsel patients who are using, misusing, or misunderstanding existing information. APRNs can influence patient attitudes regarding information obtained over the Internet, because healthcare provider-patient conversations involving the Internet lead to higher confidence in the Internet as a resource by patients (Hong, 2008).
