Policy evaluation

Hello Amber,

I like your discussion on RN/APRN policy evaluation that is based on the ethical and professional role of nurses. I agree that policy-making must consider research based on current time period CITATION Mar153 \l 1033 (Bruce, 2015).

I agree with the viewpoints of Amber regarding opportunities in policy evaluation. It is a role of RN to examine that the policy is influencing the patient care effectively. I agree that it is critical to consider the economic and social conditions for enhancing the quality of care. The post also explains that the nurses can take leadership roles and apply the standards of nursing identified by the Federal state. This is effective for enhancing the overall quality of healthcare. I think that the post highlights the important strategies that RN’s must adopt for addressing the needs of patients CITATION ELL06 \l 1033 (Kathleen, 2006).

I agree with the viewpoints of Victoria that states that engaging stakeholders is important for controlling disease. The center for disease control claims that the stakeholders must be involved in the process of policy making that will leads to the maximization of welfare. The CDC framework can be used for asking questions and identifying goals for controlling diseases CITATION Mar153 \l 1033 (Bruce, 2015).

The healthcare system face many challenges to the opportunities such as reliable evaluation of the health policy. I agree that the policy must be able to address the healthcare concerns of the masses. This impossible by considering the personal opinions and views of the patients CITATION Hil92 \l 1033 (Peplau, 1992).

I like the strategies of advocacy presented by Amber in her discussion. I agree that nurses can influence patients, families and peers due to their direct interaction with them. I agree that advocacy can be improved by engaging stakeholders in the process CITATION Placeholder1 \l 1033 (Seyhan & Özbaş, 2018). The post also explains that communications have significant impact in building positive relationship of nurses with patients.
