In this assignment, groups will develop an outline for an “in-service”-style educational session on risk management, which will form the basis for a CLC slide presentation in Topic 5. Before starting the assignment, you are required to submit your proposed presentation topic to the instructor for approval. You will select one risk management topic relevant to and chosen from the points analyzed in the Risk Management Program Analysis Part One assignment in Topic 1.

The approval step is required so that each group will profile a different risk management topic in order to enhance the depth of learning and contribute to the body of knowledge of each student. Submit your group’s proposed topic as early as possible after your group members have been selected, but no later than Day 7 of Topic 1 for full assignment credit. Once you receive instructor approval, only then should you initiate work on this assignment. (Note: Work submitted on an unapproved topic will receive zero credit.)

Once your topic has been approved by the faculty, you will develop a 500-750 word comprehensive outline that communicates the approved risk management topic. The outline is required to include a minimum of three objectives to discuss what your group considers to be key or core risk management elements that pertain to the point, or element, you selected to profile.

Required sections to include in your outline are listed below. If your topic requires additional sections, include them as well:

1. Introduction.
2. Objectives: Three objectives you intend to address in the proposed risk management educational session.
3. Rationale: Rationale for each objective (i.e., Why are these three objectives key or core to the risk management issue?).
4. Supportive Data: Data to support the need for the proposed educational session.
5. Implementation Strategies: How will you implement the proposed educational session?
6. Evaluation Strategies: What tools will you use to evaluate the proposed educational session?
7. Challenges and Opportunities: Ideas or suggestions about areas of focus regarding risk management the organization could or should address moving forward into the future?

It may be helpful to preview the requirements for the Topic 3 assignment (Risk Management Program Analysis Part Two) and the Topic 4 assignment (Organizational Risk Management Interview), as the information may contribute to and enhance your final group presentation in Topic 5. It is highly encouraged that you also preview the Topic 5 assignment (Educational Program on Risk Management Part Two: Slide Presentation) to ensure your outline addresses all required elements for that final CLC submission. 

For assistance on developing a solid outline, “Four Main Components for Effective Outlines” and related material regarding outlines can be found on the Purdue Online Writing Lab (OWL) website at https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/544/01/.

Assignment # 1.

W10- Discussion:

Leadership Implications

“The greatest leader is not necessarily the one who does the greatest things. He is the one that gets the people to do the greatest things.”

— Ronald Reagan
U.S. President (1981-1989)

Leadership is a critical role for advanced practice nurses. In order to be an effective leader, one must examine his or her role as an advanced practice nurse, and use his or her knowledge, and leadership skills to address issues related to his or her specialty area. There is a saying that one must know when to follow and when to lead. In order to be a good leader, you must also learn how to follow. As you transition from student to practicing NP, seek opportunities for mentorship to develop your leadership skills. Recognizing when to lead and when to follow is an interchangeable process that requires experience and preparation. The future for Americans in health care is unpredictable. This week it is important to focus on the complex and advanced leadership role that is needed to make effective change in a dynamic and demanding health care system.

This week you will focus on the importance of leadership in advanced practice nursing. You will have an opportunity to examine how you can execute positive social change in your state for salient advanced practice nursing issues.

W 11 Discussion

STATE PRACTICE AGREEMENT

Social change Agents

“We’ve been called disruptive innovators,” Ford said. “And I think ‘disruptive innovators’ is great – we just need more of them.”

— Heidesch, T. (2008)

As NPs, we are obligated to promote our profession. A component of promoting the profession is proactively being engaged with our communities and identifying areas where change is needed. An example of this would be identifying a community issue, such as an increase in the rate of obesity in a middle-school population and discovering that soda machines are present in the schools. Identifying a problem and being a positive change agent is an essential component of the NP role. Understanding the lawmaking process and how to initiate a local or state change empowers the NP to impart Social Change.

This week you will focus on the importance of leadership in advanced practice nursing. You will have an opportunity to examine how you can execute positive social change in your state for salient advanced practice nursing issues.

Consider the following:

During NP clinical practicum experiences, we identify, as nurses, many health care issues that need to be addressed at the local, state, or national level. Addressing the need for change in health care policy is now an intricate part of your role as a social change agent.

For this Discussion, you will identify a change needed in your community and what your nursing legacy for positive social change will be.

To prepare:

· 1. Consider the health care issues and deficits you have recognized in your professional practice.

· 2. Identify a change needed in your community in health care policy and discuss how you could impart change during your career as an NP.) (A change needed in my community is Obesity ).

· 3. Consider your future as a NP and what your nursing legacy will be. How will you impart Social Change?

1. Post a change needed in your community and an explanation for how you will begin to implement that change. 

2. Then, share with your colleagues a brief explanation of what your nursing legacy will be:(My nursing legacy  will be (Being an advocate for health promotion through disease screenings and illness prevention)

3.  How will you impart Social Change. 

4.  Provide  at least one suggestion for a colleague in your class on how they could implement this change and for their nursing legacy.
