PurposeThe process for affecting positive change to improve practice outcomes can start with either the identification of an area of interest or the identification of a potential or existing practice problem. Selecting an area of interest helps to define a direction for further inquiry. The purpose of this assessment is for students to identify and discuss an area of interest specific to advanced practice nursing. Students will identify a common practice problem related to the selected area of interest and provide a recommendation to affect positive change. Students will build on this project in later courses.Note: The purpose of the MSN project is to translate evidence currently found in the literature into practice within the chosen specialty track. Due to the research complexity, time involvement, and implications regarding human subjects, drug studies are not acceptable areas of interest for an MSN project.Requirements:Criteria for ContentFor this presentation, select an area of nurse practitioner (NP) practice that is of interest to you and in which you would like to see a practice change occur. Conduct a review of literature to see what is currently known about the topic and to find research support for the practice change you are recommending.  You may use a topic from the list at the link below or may investigate a topic of your choice as long as it pertains to NP practice. If you are unsure of your topic, please reach out to your instructor.  Be sure to provide speaker’s notes for all slides except the title and reference slides.Through this assignment, the student will demonstrate the ability to:Examine roles and competencies of advanced practice nurses essential to performing as leaders and advocates of holistic, safe, and quality care.

Structural Versus Strategic Family TherapiesAlthough structural therapy and strategic therapy are both used in family therapy, these therapeutic approaches have many differences in theory and application. As you assess families and develop treatment plans, you must consider these differences and their potential impact on clients. For this Assignment, as you compare structural and strategic family therapy, consider which therapeutic approach you might use with your own client families.Learning ObjectivesStudents will:· Compare structural family therapy to strategic family therapy· Create structural family maps (Refer to Gerlach (2015) in this week’s LearningResources for guidance on creating a structural family map.) or LOOK AT THEATTACHED ONE.· Justify recommendations for family therapyThe AssignmentIn a 2- to 3-page paper, address the following:· Summarize the key points of both structural family therapy and strategic familytherapy.· Compare structural family therapy to strategic family therapy, noting thestrengths and weaknesses of each.· Provide an example of a family in your practicum using a structural family map.Note: Be sure to maintain HIPAA regulations (Refer to Gerlach (2015) in thisweek’s Learning Resources for guidance on creating a structural family map.) orLOOK AT THE ATTACHED ONE.· Recommend a specific therapy for the family, and justify your choice using theLearning ResourcesRequired ReadingsNichols, M.
