Essential I - answer Scientific Underpinnings for Practice:
This essential describes the scientific foundations of nursing practice,
which are based on the natural and social sciences. These scienses may
include human biology, physiology, and psychology.
In addition, nursing science has provided nursing with a body of
knoweldge to contribute to the discipline of nursing. This body of
knowledge or discipline is focused on the following:
-The principles and laws the govern the life process, well-being and
optimal functioning of human beings, sick or well
-The patterning of human behavior in interaction with the environment in
normal life events and critical life situations
-The processes by which positive changes in health status are affected
-The wholeness of health of human beings, recognzing that they are in
continous interaction with their environments
Understanding the practice of nursing includes developing an
understanding of scientific underpinnings for practice (the science and
discipline of nursing). Specifically, the DNP degree preapres the graduate
to do the following:
-Integrate nursing science with knowledge from the organizational,
biophysical, psychological, and analytical sciences, as well as ethics, as
the basis for the highest level of nursing practice
, -Develop and evaluate new practice approaches based on nursing theories
and theories from other disciplines
-Utilize science-based concepts and theories to determine the significance
and nature of health and healthcare delivery phenomena, describe
strategies used to enhance healthcare delivery, and evaluate outcomes
Essential II - answer Organization and Systems Leadership for Quality
Improvement and Systems Thinking:
Preparation in organizational and system leadership at every level is
imperative for DNP graduates to have an impact on and improve
healthcare delivery and patient care outcomes.
DNP graduates are distinguished by their ability to focus on new
healthcare delivery methods that are based on nursing science.
Preparation in this area will provide DNP graduates with expertise in
assessing organizations, identifying systems issues and facilitating
organization-wide changes in practice delivery.
Specifically, DNP graduates will be prepared to do the following:
-Utilize scientific findings in nursing and other disciplines to develop and
evaluate care delivery approaches that meet the current and future needs
of patient populations.
-Guarantee accountability for the safety and quality care for the patients
they care for.
-Manage ethical dilemmas within patient care, healthcare organizations,
and research, including developing and evaluating appropriate strategies.
