This competency assessment assesses the following Outcome(s):
NU501M1-4: Differentiate the professional identity of advanced nursing practice, including accountability to the individual, society, and the profession and compliance with relevant laws, policies, and regulations.
For this assessment, you will complete the provided Assessment Template. Differentiate the professional identity of advanced nursing practice in various roles, including accountability to the individual, society, and the profession and compliance with relevant laws, policies, and regulations, and evidence-based practice. A few sections must include some content on identified topics.
Address each section. You will research topics related to each content.
For example, the APRN has a state RN license, a state APRN license and a certification nationally. For policies, these may be governmental agencies or related to a facility. The nurse educator will have to comply with and understand FERPA laws, university policy, and standards for accreditation. Executive leaders must understand HIPAA implementation, wage and hour rules, and fair employment practices. Provide brief examples to each section.
This is a discovery assessment. This activity will broaden your understanding of compliance and accountability in your role and other advanced-level nurse roles.
Advanced Leaders have an accountability to be compliant with evidence-based practice standards. While guidelines and standards may be slightly different and even altered based on a patient’s need, there are expectations to follow within reason. You will research evidence-based practice expectations and the importance of compliance per role.
