Thank you for sharing your informative post on the role of the DNP and elaborating on well-defined policies. I appreciate you adding about instilling change and the importance of training and educating staff. Thank you for your post! Embracing changes and the perception of the need for the change by the nurses and staff is important. 

1-Have you seen changes not work? 

2-What can be learned from the scenario when it just didn’t get implemented?

I need to answer these 2 questions separated and use 2 sources no later than 5 years.

Discussion: Pediatric Bipolar Depression Disorder Debate

Some debate in the literature exists specific to whether or not bipolar disorder can be diagnosed in childhood. While some have anecdotally argued that it is not possible for children to develop bipolar disorder (as normal features of childhood confound the diagnosis), other sources argue that pediatric bipolar disorder is a fact.

In this Discussion, you engage in a debate as to whether pediatric bipolar disorder is possible to diagnose.

Learning Objectives

Students will:

• Evaluate      diagnosis of pediatric bipolar depression disorder
• Analyze      consequences to diagnosing/failing to diagnose pediatric bipolar      depression disorder

To Prepare for the Discussion:

• The instructor      will assign you a position for or against the issue of diagnosing      pediatric bipolar depression disorder.( Against)
• Review the      Learning Resources concerning the controversy over the diagnosis of      pediatric bipolar depression disorder.

Post:

• Write  “against” in the subject line of      your Discussion post.
• Based on the      position you were assigned, justify whether or not pediatric bipolar      depression disorder should be diagnosed.

Support your position with evidence and examples.

Week 8: Marginalized Women and Childbearing Families

Assignment Guidelines with Scoring Rubric

Purpose

The purpose of this assignment is to provide the student with an opportunity to explore the concept of marginalization and how it impacts the healthcare of women and childbearing families.

Activity Learning Outcomes

Through this assignment, the student will demonstrate the ability to:

1. Articulate understanding of marginalization through current article appraisal. (CO5)
2. Devise actions to mitigate social impacts to marginalized women and childbearing families. (CO5)
3. Appraise the role of policy in the marginalization of women and childbearing families. (CO5)

Requirements:

1. Read the following article, which can be found in the Chamberlain library: Prodan‐Bhalla, N., & Browne, A. J. (2019).  Exploring women’s health care experiences through an equity lens:  Findings from a community clinic serving marginalised women. Journal of clinical nursing, 28(19-20), 3459-3469. https://doi.org/10.1111/jocn.14937
    

Discussion Questions:

1. As an advanced practice nurse, what are three actions you can take to mitigate social impacts to marginalized women?
2. What role does policy at either government, state, or local level play in the marginalization of women and child bearing families?
3. Identify one policy that impacts marginalized groups (include whether the policy is at the federal, state, or local level).
4. Discuss how policy impacts marginalized groups either positively or negatively.

Discussion Guiding Principles

The ideas and beliefs underpinning the discussions guide students through engaging dialogues as they achieve the desired learning outcomes/competencies associated with their course in a manner that  empowers them to organize, integrate, apply and critically appraise  their knowledge to their selected field of practice. The use of  discussions provides students with opportunities to contribute  level-appropriate knowledge and experience to the topic in a safe,  caring, and fluid environment that models professional and social  interaction. The ebb and flow of a discussion is based upon the  composition of student and faculty interaction in the quest for relevant  scholarship. Participation in the discussion generates opportunities  for students to actively engage in the written ideas of others by  carefully reading, researching, reflecting, and responding to the  contributions of their peers and course faculty. Discussions foster the  development of members into a community of learners as they share ideas  and inquiries, consider perspectives that may be different from their  own, and integrate knowledge from other disciplines.

Direct Quotes

Good writing calls for the limited use of direct quotes. Direct  quotes in discussions are to be limited to one short quotation (not to  exceed 15 words). The quote must add substantively to the discussion.  Points will be deducted under the grammar, syntax, APA category.
