Discussion 7 Week 12 | Nursing homework help

The article “Nurse Practitioners in Community Health Settings Today” highlights the vital role of nurse practitioners (NPs) in community health settings. In areas where healthcare is scarce, NPs provide excellent primary care. The article states that NPs provide comprehensive, cost-effective healthcare including chronic disease management and preventive care. Community Nursing Practice Model (CNPM) is a vital tool to achieve better outcomes and access for underserved patients. In the model, the emphasis is on partnerships, community engagement, and collaboration in the provision of healthcare. This model emphasizes a need for an integrated approach to health care that takes into account the social factors that influence the health of communities and individuals.

One MSN Essential that correlates with this discussion related to community nursing practice is Essential IX: Master’s-Level Nursing Practice. The purpose of this Essential is to highlight the role of advanced practice nursing in the care of patients, their families, and the community. Advanced nursing practices, like those provided by NPs working in community settings, require a high degree of knowledge, skill, and competency to meet the complex needs of their patients. It also stresses the importance of understanding healthcare policies and how they can improve the health and wellbeing of communities and individuals. These skills are essential to NPs who work in community settings. They can advocate on behalf of their patients, and make sure they get the right care.
