Week 3 Discussion - Healthcare Policy & Finance

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.
