Reply to this person in 300 words NievesReply Kierah Hassad Feb 2 8:45pm | Last reply Feb 2 8:48pm Reply from Kierah Hassad An articulated nursing philosophy can be perceived or defined in many ways. My findings led me to an article that discussed the philosophy of nursing as a discursive practice that has a specific modality of nursing practice. An articulated philosophy is actually something that is continuously changing. Therefore, the main principle of it is to continuously assess and further your knowledge along with the changes of the specific situation you are faced with throughout your practice. Sharifi-Heris and Bender (2023) describe articulated philosophy as more of a questioning tool that allows you to ask yourself the “how” and “why” you are doing something. This influences a nurse’s practice because it allows a nurse to think more critically, including multiple aspects of a patient. An example discussed in the article is the process of weaning a patient off a ventilator. It emphasizes that in a situation like this, nurses are using strict instructions, but still should have a philosophy that can be articulated based on the new findings that might occur with the patient, rather than going through it step by step like a robot. As nurses, we should be able to pick up on changes and think quickly. The implications for a nurse without a defined philosophy can cause challenges for a nurse as they begin their career. Nurses without one might become stuck in a continuous cycle, which prevents the individual from gaining more knowledge and experience. Essentially, not having optimism puts a block on how far you can expand your knowledge as a nurse. A nurse with an associate degree versus a bachelor’s might have some differences, but not anything significant, it all comes from the experience an individual has completed. An individual with a bachelor’s degree might be able to expand their knowledge on a subject critically. However, both ASN and BSN students take the same NCLEX and are prepared on the same course levels. References ` Sharifi-Heris, Z., & Bender, M. (2023).

Purpose: To critically examine a POI through philosophical perspectives and Carpers Patterns of Knowing. Aligned Course Student Learning Outcomes (SLOs) SLO 1. Critically analyze and synthesize the scientific and theoretical foundations that underpin advanced nursing practice and guide clinical judgment. SLO 2. Integrate and apply nursing science with biophysical, psychosocial, ethical, philosophical, and social sciences to inform evidence-based, person-centered, and population-focused care. SLO 6. Demonstrate scholarly inquiry, reflective practice, and leadership capacity to advance the nursing profession through lifelong learning and system-level improvement. Assessment Learning Objectives: By completing this paper, the student will be able to: Clearly articulate a clinically relevant Phenomenon of Interest (POI) grounded in advanced nursing practice. Analyze philosophical assumptions (ontology, epistemology, axiology) underlying the selected POI. Synthesize nursing and interdisciplinary philosophical perspectives to support person-centered and population-focused care. Demonstrate scholarly inquiry through coherent argumentation and use of foundational nursing science literature. Instructions: 1. Introduce your POI and conclude the introductory paragraph with a thesis statement. 2. Describe your POI, setting, and population. 3. Discuss the significance of your POI to your specialty and its impact on U.S. healthcare. 4. Differentiate Analytical and Continental philosophical viewpoints, identify your preference, and explain its influence on evaluating data for your POI. 5. Describe the value of the alternative viewpoint and the advantages of incorporating both perspectives. 6. Apply Carpers four patterns of knowing to your POI with examples. 7. Conclude with a summary of insights. Please review the video instructions for this paper in the Module. Specific requirements are detailed in the rubric.

Develop and record a 1012 PowerPoint slide, 10-minute presentation, with audio, intended for a healthcare organization with colleagues and leadership as the audience. Create a detailed narrative script for your presentation.

Expand AllIntroduction

This assessment provides an opportunity for you to develop a presentation for a healthcare organization, which provides an overview of ethical standards and relevant policy issues that affect the coordination of care. Completing this assessment will strengthen your understanding of ethical issues and policies related to the coordination and continuum of care and empower you to be a stronger advocate and nursing professional.

Professional Context

As coordinators of care, nurses must be aware of the code of ethics for nurses and health policy issues that affect the coordination of care within the context of the community. To help patients navigate the continuum of care, nurses must be proficient at interpreting and applying the code of ethics and health policy, specifically, the ACA. Being knowledgeable about ethical and policy issues helps ensure that care coordinators are upholding ethical standards and navigating policy issues that affect patient care.

This assessment provides an opportunity for you to develop a presentation for a healthcare organization, which provides an overview of ethical standards and relevant policy issues that affect the coordination of care.
