Description

Introduction to the advanced nursing practice leadership dynamic

30

11

Introduces the purpose of the paper and addresses all background information elements of the advanced nursing practice leadership dynamic in its practice context

1. In your introduction, establish the purpose of your paper (it should reflect the assignment guidelines purpose) and provide a mini-outline, in sentence format, of what the paper will present. The mini-outline should mirror the level headings (except for the Conclusion)—in this case, you have two level heading topics that are required.
   1. Example of a purpose statement: The purpose of this of this paper is to critically appraise advanced nursing practice leadership from an ethic of care versus an ethic of justice perspective, examining both ethical perspectives through current evidence and reflecting on factors that require the caring ethic in today’s practice.
2. Briefly introduce information related to a leadership dynamic topic in its practice context that you can discuss in relation to the Ethic of Care (in other words, the dynamic or issue is used to help you describe how you would apply the theory of Ethic of Care/Justice to it as a DNP leader).

1. Examples of topics could include bullying and incivility, conflict resolution, moral principles, teamwork and collaboration, cultural beliefs and behaviors, or another topic that is of interest to you.

Description of ethic of care versus ethic of justice perspectives

55

20

Present BOTH leadership perspectives, the Ethics of Care and the Ethic of Justice, and their potential impacts on your leadership dynamic topic. Use current evidence and examples from your own advanced nursing practice context to support your discussions.

Suggestions:

1. Use Level II headings to outline/organize the paragraphs on the Ethic of Care and the Ethic of Justice.

2. Start with Week 7’s lesson “Ethic of Care Versus Ethic of Justice” and explore the literature in the Chamberlain library databases of several references that support what you, as advanced practice leadership nurses, believe about the topic (One approach is to start with your expert opinions and then use your evidence to support your argument).

Reflection on the application from an ethic of care perspective

55

20

Individually critiques factors that compel the Ethic of Care in today’s healthcare environment. Use examples from the practice context and from literature to support your assertions. Use your leadership dynamic topic to help demonstrate why it is important to lead from an Ethic of Care.

Suggestion: Use a guiding question for yourself to guide the reflection. For example, why is it so important in today’s healthcare environment to practice from an ethic of care? Or Why should my practice demonstrate an ethic of care but require the ethic of justice as well?

Conclusion

30

11

Identifies the main ideas and major conclusions from the body of your paper, with minor details left out, and summarizes the benefits of the application of an Ethic of Care to advanced nursing practice

Suggestion: Summarize in such a way that you draw conclusions for your reader and show that you have an excellent understanding of the ethic of care contributions to advanced nursing practice. Develop the conclusion so that each of your major points are revisited but stated differently. You know how to practice the science and art of nursing.
