Week 3 Healthcare Policy & Finance discussion
Weekly Discussion: 3 (USLO 3.2)
Legislative efforts at both the Federal and State levels serve as guidelines for all levels of health policy, all the way to the bedside. Choose a nurse best practice and trace it backwards to how and why that practice was developed into a current practice.
Use the NCSBN’s Find Your Nurse Practice Act webpage to find your state’s Nurse Practice Act (NPA).
- Please list at least two clauses in your NPA that support your chosen best practice.
- Finally reflect on your investigation into your state’s NPA. What did you learn? What do you still have questions about?
- Each week your discussion will be graded on a point scale. In order to successfully complete each weekly discussion assignment, you will need to address all items included in the discussion topic/question, respond to peers thoughtfully, add value to the discussion, and apply ideas, insights, or concepts from scholarly sources, such as: journal articles, assigned readings, textbook material, lectures, course materials, or authoritative websites. For specific details and criteria, refer to the discussion rubric in the Menu (⋮) or in the Course Overview Weekly Discussion Guidelines.
