Domain 1: Knowledge for Nursing Practice - ANSWER The integration,
translation, and application of established and growing disciplinary nursing
knowledge and modes of thinking, as well as knowledge from other disciplines,
such as liberal arts and natural and social sciences. This distinguishes
professional nursing practice and serves as the foundation for clinical judgment
and innovative nursing practice.
Contextual Statement: Knowledge of Nursing Practice sets the stage for
understanding nursing as a scientific discipline. Nursing's lens, which is
informed by nursing history, knowledge, and science, represents the goal to
incorporate diverse views into nursing practice, resulting in nursing's distinct
method of knowing and caring.
Domain 2: Person-Centered Care - Answer Person-centered care focuses on the
individual within a variety of complex situations, including family and/or
significant others. Person-centered care is comprehensive, tailored, fair,
respectful, compassionate, coordinated, evidence-based, and developmentally
appropriate. Person-centered care is based on a scientific body of knowledge
that supports nursing practice across specialties and functional areas.
Nursing's primary goal is to provide person-centered care. This goal is
intertwined with every aspect of nursing practice, from the point of care where
the hands of those providing and receiving care meet to the point of systems-
level nursing leadership.
Domain 3: Population Health - Answer Population health encompasses the
healthcare delivery continuum, from public health prevention to disease
management of populations, and describes collaborative activities with both
traditional and non-traditional partnerships from affected communities, public
, health, industry, academia, health care, local government entities, and others to
improve equitable population health outcomes.
Contextual Statement:
Nurses play an important role in lobbying for, establishing, and implementing
policies that affect population health both internationally and locally. Nurses
also respond to crises and offer care during emergencies, disasters, epidemics,
and pandemics. The goal of these collaborative actions, which include the
creation of interventions and policies, is to promote health equity and improve
health for all.
Domain 4: Scholarship for Nursing Practice - Answer Nursing knowledge is
generated, synthesised, translated, applied, and disseminated to enhance health
and transform healthcare.
Nursing scholarship advances science, improves clinical practice, shapes policy,
and inspires best practices for educating nurses as clinicians, scholars, and
leaders. Scholarship encompasses discovery, application, integration, and
teaching. While not exhaustive, the scholarship of discovery comprises primary
empirical research, large-scale data analysis, theory building, and
methodological studies. The scholarship of practice interprets, integrates,
applies, and adds new meaning to original research (Boyer, 1990; AACN 2018).
Domain 5: Quality and Safety - Answer The use of established and new
principles of safety and improvement science. Quality and safety, as essential
nursing values, improve quality and reduce the risk of harm to patients and
providers by focusing on system effectiveness and individual performance.
Contextual Statement:
-Quality and safety are inextricably linked, as safety is an essential component
of quality care. Quality health care must be safe, effective, timely, efficient,
translation, and application of established and growing disciplinary nursing
knowledge and modes of thinking, as well as knowledge from other disciplines,
such as liberal arts and natural and social sciences. This distinguishes
professional nursing practice and serves as the foundation for clinical judgment
and innovative nursing practice.
