NURS 8410 Week 7: The Application of New Practice Approaches
– Part II
“Engagement in the process of policy development is central to
creating a health care system that meets the needs of its
constituents” (AACN, 2006, p. 13).
As a professional nurse, you are well positioned to affect changes
in health care through policy. Nurses are frequently asked to
testify before Congress or congressional committees on
important health care matters; being able to present the scientific
evidence on a health care issue can contribute to this process and
thereby inform the formation of health policy.
This week, you explore how to utilize the concepts presented in
earlier weeks to advocate for health care policy to improve
health-related outcomes. In addition, you submit your time log
and a journal entry for your practicum experience.
