Speak In first Person

Respond to at least two of your peers’ initial posts. Make sure you choose at least one post that focuses on stakeholders that are different from yours. Include the following details in your response:

• Identify at least one type of stakeholder that your peer did not include in their initial post, and explain why considering this stakeholder type is important.
• Explain the risks of not involving stakeholders in program planning. If your peer has already discussed some risks in their initial post, identify at least one other risk that they did not or elaborate further on a risk that they did identify.

Stakeholders’ input in program planning helps with getting a different perspective. Stakeholders also provide ongoing feedback to improve program planning and implementation. Additionally, stakeholders are more likely to support the evaluation and act on results and recommendations if they are involved in the evaluation process.

In your initial post, include the following details:

• Explain the influence of internal and external stakeholders in your program planning and why their inclusion is important for the planning process.
• Describe how you would assess the nature of each stakeholder’s influence and importance.

• Review practice agreements in your state.
• Identify whether your state requires physician collaboration or supervision for nurse practitioners, and if so, what those requirements are.
• Research the following:
  • How do you get certified and licensed as an Advanced Practice Registered Nurse (APRN) in your state?
  • What is the application process for certification in your state?
  • What is your state’s board of nursing website?
  • How does your state define the scope of practice of a nurse practitioner?
  • What is included in your state practice agreement?
  • How do you get a DEA license?
  • Does your state have a prescription monitoring program (PMP)?
  • How does your state describe a nurse practitioner’s controlled-substance prescriptive authority, and what nurse practitioner drug schedules are nurse practitioners authorized to prescribe?

Post a summary of your findings on your state based on the questions listed above. Explain the types of regulations that exist and the barriers that may impact nurse practitioner independent practice in your state. Be specific. Also, describe what surprised you from your research.

• Find an article or webpage (do not use Wikipedia or an AI source) that lists the assumptions for correlations. Find information from the Eskandari Kootahi et al. study and determine if they were met in this study. This can count as the article related to a statistical concept this week
• You used the term “homoscedasticity.” What does this mean?
• The relationship between all of the variables was positive. What does this mean? Do both variables go up together in value? Or do both variables go down together in value? Or, as one variable goes up or down, does the other variable move in the opposite direction? Determine the direction of the effect of one of the subscales of professional values on job satisfaction and explain what this means in terms of the direction of the r-value.
• Use the values in Box 9.1 to more precisely evaluate the strength of each of the correlations between job satisfaction and professional values in this study. Give the r-values and the strength of the value.
• A complete analysis of the clinical significance of research findings is not based on the importance of the variables. Clinical significance is based on four things:
  • The strength of the relationship or difference between and among the variables.
  • Your knowledge of the importance of the professional issues relevant to the variables (as in this study) or the physiological or psychological impact of an intervention on the dependent (outcome) variable (in a clinical study of the effect of an intervention on the health of patients).
  • Critical thinking related to the importance of the issue and the strength of the findings from the study.
  • Your knowledge of your setting and your patients/staff members related to the relevance and strength of the findings to your setting and patients/staff. This should include consideration of the cost and effort of instituting and maintaining a project that aims to make a change in practice or process in your setting.
• Using the four criteria above related to clinical significance and thinking of your setting and previous practice change projects in your setting, is the strength of the correlations in this study sufficiently large to justify the effort, time, and expense of implementing a project?
