A Sample Answer For the Assignment: NR 506 Week 8 DQ: Global Policy Reform

Title: NR 506 Week 8 DQ: Global Policy Reform

From reading the article, it reinforced the concept that simply having a policy in place does not mean it is being executed to its fullest potential (Kohl et al., 2016). Issues that are prevalent in one area of the world might not be common in another part of the world; this possibility will have to be considered when developing a global policy (Kohl et al., 2016). No matter the location, any action that a nurse takes must always be with the patient in mind. The nurse must evaluate aspects of the patient’s life that might make him different from the patient right next door with the same medical problem. As nurses we should be able to think on our feet and be flexible when it comes to our solutions for the patient. One treatment we might think is the best in reality might not be a suitable option for a particular patient.

From this course, I have learned the importance that nursing has in the political area. Nurses have a tendency to think they are just products of the system and are told what to do. On the contrary, nurses hold much more power than they realize. We are patient advocates, so we have a duty to change the system if we do not agree with it. We are problem solvers in our daily practice; this skill is vital for public policy. Through this course, I feel I have developed more confidence in feeling capable to speak to someone in policymaking or administration about an issue. We have a responsibility to ourselves and the people we care for to be lifelong learners, and I will try to implement this concept into my own practice one day. We are entrusted to give the patient the best possible care that we can provide. To accomplish this objective, we must strive to better our practice while always safeguarding the rights and integrity of our patients.

Rachel, yes nurse have much more power than they often realize. I find this course really helps nurses find their voice and the policy assignment can be very empowering. You discussed keeping the patient in mind, which is very important – how might thinking about the community or population instead of individual patients change things?

Dr. Breen,
When taking a community into consideration for a policy change issue, your goal might be different than if you were just helping one individual. When multiple people are involved you must think about what is better for the group as a whole. It might not benefit every single member of the group, but you must think about what action will benefit the most people. In this situation, the result might not be fair for every individual, but you have to think about what action is going to help the most people. When trying to help a larger group of people, you also are going to have to be more creative and think outside box since there are so many different people with different needs that you are having to take into consideration.

Rachel, yes when thinking of a population, you need to look at aggregate data. For example, I used to work with women on bedrest for preterm labor. Then the research found that bedrest did not help in preventing preterm labor. So for the population of women with preterm labor, bedrest is not the best practice. However, for individual patients it might still be recommended

Hi Rachel,

I really enjoyed reading your post! Great insight and sharing information about global policy. I completely agree with you that nurses are capable with being very influential with change for their patients and what’s in the best interest for their health. With nursing care, personalized care is a huge component on patient care and how it affects patient’s health outcomes and improvements of care. As nurses, we are able to assess what is best for our patients and become their voice and advocate for their specific needs and realize how important our role is within healthcare policy to impact change for our patients and nursing profession. Again, great perspective. Wish you and everyone in the class the best as you move forward on your journey at Chamberlain! 🙂

Hello Dr. Breen,

One-to-one nursing provides direct services to patients in need, but one-to one direct nursing has little impact or influence on changing community healthcare goals or healthcare systems and policies. Thinking about community and population health needs calls for nurses to get involved with public policy advocacy. Public policy advocacy has more of a direct influence on implementing community healthcare goals and creating policies that benefit all patient groups.Nurses who train to become public policy health

advocates put themselves in unique positions to take on roles as lobbyists for specific health causes, help draft legislation for a needed health policy, speak at conferences, become liaisons for coalitions, even start grass roots health policy organizations and join forces with more established organizations that advocate similar causes. Public policy advocacy is a great way to get community health issues heard on a grand scale to influence system change (Arabi, Rafii, Cheraghi, & Ghiyasvandian, 2014). However, public policy advocacy is not the best method to provide direct services to individual population members in need (Arabi et al., 2014). Only root causes of the issue will be addressed, such as reviewing the legality and constitutionality of laws and ordinances (Arabi et al., 2014). Both one-to-one nursing and public policy advocacy are effective in their own way.
