Introduction
The following paper offers a reflection on the validation regarding the nursing students’ incorporation as well as acquisition regarding the course aims associated with the Doctor of Nursing Practice programs. This is also associated with the inclusion of the acquisition regarding the AACN essentials regarding the Doctoral Education for Advanced Nursing Practice (AACN, 2019). The reflection paper will focus on the key competencies as well as skills gained throughout the program. The course has been highly effective in individual develop of situation management as well as effective decision making among the DNP graduates.
Reflection
The DNP practices are highly essential for the nursing students which usually mandates that the growth as well as the Increment of the cases associated with healthcare complexity are handled with consistency and efficiency (Wheeler et al., 2017). The guiding teams as well as the professors were adequate and comprehensive in offering knowledge as well as learning experiences that will see the DNP students being innovative as well as excellent in care dispensing. There are various skills as well as knowledge aspects which were gained. Two key skills gained are:
· Inclusive & Organized Analysis Regarding Health Structures
This is a key skill that is essential in ensuring that all the health and disease issues are handled with insightful knowledge and decision making. There are numerous health complication management issues thus the need to be adequate as well as sufficient in the incorporation of key knowledge in handling them. The course offered a golden opportunity to understand the key information needed to successfully accomplish this (Reljić et al., 2019).
· Analysis as well as Application & Framework of Health Science type of interventions
Therapeutic form of interventions were effectively practiced.

Preconference Evaluation: Individual Success Plan (ISP)
Start Date & Time Due Date & Time Points
Jan 27, 2022, 12:00 AM Feb 2, 2022, 11:59 PM 20
The Individual Success Plan (ISP) assignment in this course
requires your collaboration with the course faculty
early on to establish a plan for successful completion of
mutually identified and agreed-upon specific
deliverables for your programmatic requirements. Programmatic
requirements are: (1) completion of required
practice immersion hours, (2) completion of work associated
with program competencies, and (3) work
associated with completion of your Direct Practice Improvement
(DPI) Project.
A preconference meeting is intended for the learner and
preceptor/mentor to review course- and learner-
specific learning objectives: the roles, responsibilities, and
expectations of the learner and preceptor/mentor
23. Practice Improvement (DPI) timeline
documents in the DNP PI Workspace.
Review the DNP Program Milestones document in the DNP PI
Workspace and identify which domains,
competencies, and milestones apply to this course. Note: Not all
courses have milestones.
Determine what practice immersion experiences you plan to
seek in order to address each competency.
Include how many hours you plan to set aside to meet your
goals. Learners will apply concepts from each
of their core courses to reflect upon, critically examine, and
improve current practice and are required to
integrate scholarly readings to develop case reports that
demonstrate increasingly complex and proficient
practice.
Use the ISP to develop a personal plan for completing your
practice immersion hours and how
competencies will be met. Show all of the major milestones and
deliverables in the timeline.
Within the ISP, ensure you identify specific deliverables which
can include the following: individualized DNP
practice immersion contracts; comprehensive log of practice
immersion hours applied to doctoral-level
learning outcomes; learner evaluations; preceptor/mentor
evaluations; current and updated CV; scholarly
activities; GCU DNP competency self-assessment; reflective
journal; course goals and plan for how
competencies and practice immersion hours will be met; faculty
and preceptor/mentor approvals of course
goals and documented practice immersion hours; and DPI
Project milestones.
While an ISP is required, unless you have a mentor, a mentor
signature is not required for this course. A
preconference and a postconference/evaluation between learners
and preceptors/mentors are mandatory
for all learners enrolled in all DNP courses (from DNP-815A
24. on). Conferences may be conducted face-to-
face or via technology. A copy of the wet-ink or digitally
(digital identifier) signed document must be
uploaded into the classroom no later than the end of Topic 1.
Overall course- and learner-specific objectives: These
objectives should be discussed during each
conference, as learners are responsible for completing all
experiences as mandated for the program.
Doctoral learners are required to use APA style for their writing
assignments. The APA Style Guide is
located in the Student Success Center.
This assignment uses a rubric. Review the rubric prior to the
beginning to become familiar with the
expectations for successful completion.
You are not required to submit this assignment to LopesWrite.
Learners will submit this assignment using the assignment
dropbox in the learning management system. In
addition, learners must upload this deliverable to the Learner
Dissertation Page (LDP) in the DNP PI
Workspace for later use.

Directions:
For this assignment, write a 1,000-1,250 word paper in which
you:
Select a clinically based patient problem in which using a
database management approach provides clear 1.
benefit potential.
Consider how a hypothetical database could be created to assist
51. with this clinically based patient problem. 2.
Identify and describe the data needed to manage this patient
problem using information from the electronic
health record (EHR).
Include a brief description of the patient problem that
incorporates information needed to manage the 3.
specific problem. Describe what information is required for the
patient to manage the condition and how
the database and health care provider can be incorporated into
the approach for better health outcomes.
Describe each entity (data or attribute) that will be pulled from
the EHR as either structured or unstructured 4.
and provide an operational definition for each. Structured data
is more easily searchable and specifically
defined. For example, structured data can be placed in a drop-
down menu like hair color: brown, black, grey,
salt and pepper, blonde, platinum, etc. Unstructured data is data
that would be included in a nurse's notes.
An operational definition is how a researcher or informatics
specialist decides to measure a variable. For
example, when the nurses enter height into the EHR, do they
enter height as measured in inches or
centimeters or in feet and inches?
Provide a complete description of data entities (the objects for
which you seek information, e.g., patients) 5.
and their relationships to the attributes collected for each entity
(data collected for each entity, e.g., gender,
birthdate, first name, last name) that apply to the hypothetical
database. You can use a concept map similar
to the "Database Concept Map" resource, to help you describe
the relationships between each entity and its
attributes.

Telehealth
Start Date & Time Due Date & Time Points
Mar 3, 2022, 12:00 AM Mar 9, 2022, 11:59 PM 100
Telehealth encompasses a wide range of basic to complex health
care delivery options, with an equally
expansive array of technologies to employ. For the assignment,
you will locate a scholarly article on telehealth
published within the last 5 years in a peer-reviewed journal.
You will compose a paper containing a precis,
mind map, and discussion. The precis will focus on the
scholarly article pertaining to telehealth technology.
The mind map and discussion will help to generate and
illustrate ideas about how the identified telehealth
technology can be used in your current practice.
DPI Project Content Connection: While telehealth may not be
directly associated with your project, this
assignment will help prepare you in learning how to review and
66. present literature. In future courses, you will
develop Chapter 2 of your manuscript in which you will review
at least 50 sources related to your DPI topic.
Learning how to succinctly synthesize scholarly sources is a
very useful skill. The precis portion will help you
learn how to summarize (future assignments will assist in
synthesis), and the mind map portion will help you
learn how to organize your ideas and establish connections
between topics and subtopics.
General Guidelines:
Use the following information to ensure successful completion
of the assignment:
This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to
beginning the assignment to become
familiar with the expectations for successful completion.
Doctoral learners are required to use APA style for their writing
assignments. The APA Style Guide is
located in the Student Success Center.
Use primary sources published within the last 5 years. Provide
citations and references for all sources
used.
You are required to submit this assignment to LopesWrite. A
link to the LopesWrite technical support
articles is located in Class Resources if you need assistance.
Learners will submit this assignment using the assignment
dropbox in the learning management system. In
addition, learners must upload this deliverable to the Learner
Dissertation Page (LDP) in the DNP PI
Workspace for later use.
Directions:
Write a 750-1,000 word paper on a telehealth technology that
68. Provide an introduction that is succinct and includes a thesis or
main idea. The essence of the paper should be
contained within the thesis, and the thesis statement should
make the purpose of the paper clear. You may
also use the introduction to provide an overview of the
organization of the paper and establish the purpose
for each section.
Precis
Donald Davidson, in his book, American Composition and
Rhetoric, discusses the precis as follows:
"A precis is not an outline, but a summary or digest. It is useful
as an exercise in grasping the essential ideas of
an already completed composition and instating these ideas in
concentrated form. The precis shears away all
elaborations of the thought and gives only what is left, in such a
way as to make the summary a complete
composition. It does not, therefore, skeletonize the original
composition so much as it reduces its scale. Many
of the articles in the Reader's Digest are only precis, so
skillfully done that the average reader does not know
that he is reading a summary. Since the precis says a great deal
within a brief space, it is of great service in
taking notes on library assignments and general reading."
The precis should be an organization of ideas (including logical
sequencing of points), contain clear and
meaningful expression, and use language suitable to the
situation. Your precis section should only cite the
article you are reviewing. When finished, the precis section
should summarize a single scholarly article on the
topic of telehealth and should be four statements long:
A statement of what was studied (i.e., argued, discussed,
69. deliberated).1.
A statement of focus of the current scholarly article selected
(i.e., how it was organized and completed).2.
A statement of what information was identified or learned from
the scholarly article.3.
A statement of why the information in the article is important to
your field of study.4.
Mind Map
Brainstorm to generate ideas about how the identified telehealth
technology can be used in your current
practice using a mind map. Include the final mind map as the
Appendix at the end of the paper.
Create your mind map according to the following:
Take a sheet of paper and write an identifiable main idea in the
center of the page, using only one to three 1.
words. (You may also achieve this via an electronic sheet of
paper.)
Draw a branch off your main idea. On the branch, write or draw
a main topic related to your main idea.2.
Continue to branch off from your main idea with main topics as
needed.3.
From your main topics, branch off with subtopics.4.
From your subtopics, branch off with supporting details (write
or draw). Continue to add more details. You 5.
are free to add more topics, subtopics, or any other items.
When you stand back and survey your work, you should see a
sort of map: hence the name for this activity. 6.
At this point, you can start to form conclusions about how to
approach a potential area of practice change.
At the end of the day, what you do with the
particular map, cluster set, or web that you have produced
depends on what you need.
