The purpose of this assignment is for you to identify an issue of concern for your role as an advanced
practice nurse and to formulate a potential policy change to address that issue. There are many
potential issues which can influence your practice setting or other issue which may negatively affect
the patients with whom you work. All of the course reading will help you to identify a topic for this
assignment. You can think about the issue as related to your health promotion project which is childhood
obesity and chronic illnesses if you choose to. The policy you consider may be in reaction to the health
promotion issue or something larger that is still related to that issue. There are hundreds of possible
issues, but here is a list of a few to consider:
•Child and elder care
•Civil rights
•Domestic violence
•Drug abuse/addiction
•HIV/AIDS
•Homelessness
•Native American and migrant workers’ health
•Long-term care
•Immigration/illegal aliens
•Legislative issues affecting advanced practice nursing
•Barriers to practice
•Access to care
