Dr. Brown and Class,
First, I would like to thank you Dr. Brown for teaching this class and for all
your feedbacks. The last 3 weeks has been very difficult for me due to my mother’s
passing. I truly appreciate your understanding and support during those times. I also
want to thank my classmates for their postings and responses. You are all awesome.

MSN Essentials III Quality and Safety
The case studies taught us how to isolate relevant information in order to gain
a more comprehensive diagnosis and differentials. Additionally, the requirements of
up to date scientific articles expanded our understanding. It was often a huge
challenge for me and sometimes takes me hours to find credible resources and up-to-
date articles but I also understand that advances in healthcare technology and research
are constantly evolving. I feel that the wealth of knowledge that we acquired during
this class taught me how to provide more effective, evidence-based diagnosis and
treatments.
MSN Essentials IVThis element of master prepared nursing ties in to the aforementioned
essential. Each differential diagnosis and treatments are based on the most recent
studies. Discussing the pathological process in the cellular level and sometimes in
molecular level has provided me a better understanding of the disease process. As
such, this serves to reinforce the core concept of this essential.
MSN Essentials VIII
Our future roles as Primary Care- FNP will focus on prevention and treating
illnesses. Conducting case studies and research allows one to examine details
thoroughly. This careful analysis leads to a comprehensive knowledge base, and thus
allows healthcare providers to educate patients. Each patient encounter serves as a
learning opportunity, and the experience of this class has prepared me such that I may
seize them and provide better care for my patients. Thank you.

To be a nurse practitioner, it is important to be well rounded in knowledge of
the problems facing the sick population. The broad nature of science requires
dedicated effort and collaboration of knowledge from different interdisciplinary
teams. Over the course of 8 weeks in this class, I have done a lot of research, critical
thinking and using evidence based works to analyze and provide information to every
case study. I must admit that it has not been easy. I have learned from everyone’s
input on several case studies that were presented. In all of these case studies, new
ideas were being formed from what I thought it ought to be, to what possibilities it
could have been, and what it actually is. The idea of having one to three differentials
diagnosis help to add to existing knowledge and gaining some new information about
evidence based practice (EBP) in solving numerous case studies. Understanding
pathophysiology is a very valuable knowledge that helps in understanding the basis of
the scientific evidence foundation of theoretical models and the knowledge of
evidence-based interventions within the problem area, followed by the ability to make
an informed choice of the best intervention plan. Meeting the MSN essential eight
through proper education and developing that education into evidence based study
helps provide the patient with better safe care. Chan (2013) stated that education
preparation is an important strategy to overcome knowledge barriers. It was added that
6/21/2016 1:50:14 PM
6/21/2016 1:51:01 PMto maximize the contributions of EBP and promote safety and quality of care,
continuing efforts are required to integrate EBP in everyday nursing practice. The
complex work of integrating evidence in practice is now more feasible with the
advancement of information technology, such as automation of data collection and
analysis, and online or real-time sharing. Every student in this class has used their
scientific knowledge throughout these eight weeks to perform extensive research,
have studied their content and used the best evidence available to integrate and
collaborate to disseminate the information gathered.

The achievement of this course will allow me to put my knowledge
into practice of helping people who are in great need. This course has helped
me to understand the foundation of each disease process, and by so doing, I
have been able to understand how different diseases affect different
populations and cultures. With this in mind, this course will go a long way in
helping design sound scientific care to each patient I care for in the future. Thescientific background of this course is very important in making critical
decisions and diagnosis concerning patient health. With the knowledge in this
course, I can map out the populations that have heath disparities using
scientific data and can uses critical analyses to find vulnerable populations in
my area of practice. The knowledge in this course will also enable me to
provide needed education to the patients I see in the future. The patients
deserve to know the truth about their health. Understanding this course has
given me abundant material to explain information to my patients in more
meaningful ways so that correct decisions can be made between the patient
and their families.

This course has been an incredible learning experience. As a nurse practitioner knowing
the pathophysiology of disease processes is important to know how to take care of my
patient population. The weekly discussion threads have been an immense learning
process. I enjoyed being presented with case studies and having to discuss the different
differentials. Writing the different processes has expanded my knowledge base. Knowing
the process of the disease helped understand how and why patients are treated.
Evaluating, implementing, and developing strategies for outcomes to improve the patient's
healthcare needs has been met through writing the case studies that were presented.

Doctor Brown and Class:
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and personal experiences. As we progress
forward, I wish you all the best in your future endeavors.
Program Outcome #4: Evaluate the design, implementation, and outcomes of
strategies developed to meet healthcare needs (MSN Essentials III, IV, VIII).
Outcome #4. This outcome was met and achieved and has prepared me for what
designs can be used to provide care and how the implementation of the strategy is
important regarding the population we serve when it comes to providing quality, safe,
and effective care utilizing cost control measures.
Course Outcomes: (Syllabus) that I gained:
1. Analyzed the pathophysiology of the disease.
2. Gained an understanding of epidemiology, etiology, and pathogenesis of the disease.
Interpretation of laboratory values, their importance, and the manifestations of the
disease.
3. We learned therapeutic interventions and developed an understanding of the
compensatory mechanisms involved in the disease process.
4. We discovered the risk factors associated with the disease.
5. We evaluated the outcomes of alterations of the physiologic processes of disease.
6. We evaluated risk factors of disease states.
7. We developed the understanding of age and the physiologic changes through the
lifespan.
8. We developed an understanding of our personal and professional growth and
competence as we enter the nurse practitioner practice (Chamberlain, 2016).
MSN Essential VIII: Clinical Prevention and Population Health for Improving
Health
•Recognizes that the masters prepared nurse applies and integrates broad,
organizational, client-centered, and culturally appropriate concepts in the planning,
delivery, management, and evaluation of evidence-based clinical prevention and
population care and services to individuals, families, and aggregates/identified
populations.
This class was instrumental in providing an understanding what clinical prevention is
and what population health encompasses. Each week we were called upon toformulate diagnoses that were client-centered. Also, the cultural aspects of care were
emphasized. Our plan and delivery included evidence-based information and
guidelines to follow to provide the safest, quality, effective and evidence-based care.
Nurse Practitioner Core Competencies # 1 Scientific Foundation Competencies
1. Critically analyzes data and evidence for improving advanced nursing
practice. In this class, we were expected to analyze data critically and find current
evidence to support our diagnoses. Using current and up-to-date information is the
core of our practice. When we are required to be in the field and utilize this skill, we
have had experience in finding the proper websites and use of resource information
that help us decipher and transfer the knowledge to provide our patients the best we
can in medical care.
2. Integrates knowledge from the humanities and sciences within the context of
nursing science. As with all of our classes knowledge from humanities and sciences
are the foundation of our knowledge. We use these two vital classes as the base of our
practice. As information changes, we continue to stay up-to-date with all the new
technical, medical and educational information so we can provide safe, quality care.
3. Translates research and other forms of knowledge to improve practice
processes and outcomes. In Nursing 507, we were required to understand the latest
research and apply it to our differentials. We had to be able to use that information to
determine our subjective assessment, the objective assessment, and the physical
assessment. We use this to develop our plan of care.
4. Develops new practice approaches based on the integration of research, theory,
and practice knowledge. With the infinite resources that are available through
Chamberlain, we can find the latest approaches to effective and compassionate care to
the use of theory and the practice knowledge that can steer our diagnosis and plan.
I will use my foundation in nursing as well as my Master's degree education to
problem solve, provide interventions and evaluate the outcomes. I will also build on
my health assessment, pathophysiology, and pharmacology skills to provide care to
diverse populations (American Association of Colleges of Nursing, 2011).
The MSN program outcomes align with the American Association of Colleges and the
Essentials of Master’s Education in Nursing. The ability to practice top quality and
safe practice aligned with concepts and knowledge from other specific disciplines is
outcome #1 (Chamberlain College of Nursing, 2016).
In summary, the course has prepared me for the next phase in my FNP track. I am
looking forward to utilizing my knowledge in advanced pharmacology and advanced
physical assessment.

RE: Reflection
The essentials you listed and summarized were done very well. The MSN
essentials have provided us the opportunity to grow in knowledge and critical
thinking. Through this program and the MSN essential outcome, I have come to
realize the importance of critical thinking and the use of scientific evidence in
making correct decisions about patients’ lives. As nurses we interpret data before
calling a doctor for a final decision. With the knowledge provided in the MSN
essentials, we are now able to incorporate and look into data in a scientific way,
which encompasses best research evidence. Not all research outcomes or
conclusions will be practical or of benefit to individual patients, but the ability to
interpret this data and the application of the findings matter to every MSN trained
nurse practitioner. When all knowledge and research is put together, a new
practice is formed or added to the existing one. These practices help us to provide
safe care for the patients and their families.

Dr. Brown and class,
The past eight weeks have flown by, but in that time I have learned a great
deal regarding the pathophysiology of disease processes, specific clinical
manifestations, epidemiology, and treatment strategies in regards to specific disease
processes. When caring for patients as a practitioner, it is essential that we
understand what is happening at a cellular level and why during a disease process. Byunderstanding the specific details of a disease process, practitioners can treat the
patient effectively and appropriately. This course has guided my thinking, improved
my knowledge base, and directed my research in order to discover the best, most up
to date approaches to treating disease. I also had the ability to continue practicing
my research techniques to find the most current and accurate research articles. I will
have the capability of incorporating all that I learned throughout this course with
future courses in order to provide research based patient-centered holistic care.

Dr. Brown,
This course has adapted my thinking in regards to care and
diagnosis of a patient. With completion of this course, as an advanced
practice nurse, I will have a better understanding of how to care for each
patient as an individual. Taking into consideration the patient’s family
history, prior medical history, signs and symptoms, and disease process
along with research based practice will result in best practice patient-
centered care. This course has also incorporated the epidemiology of
disease to allow for insight on what patient populations are more prone to
a particular disease.
In all forms of healthcare, it remains essential to remain up to date
on patient care strategies, new treatment techniques, and first line
medications. Therefore, learning and practicing to locate peer-reviewed
research along with having the ability to translate this information into
patient care is an important skill for all advanced practice nurses to
possess. This course allowed me to practice and gain these skills along
with gaining essential knowledge.

Hello Professor and Class,
ReflectionThe last eight weeks have been both challenging and rewarding. The course was
about the study of advanced anatomical, functional, and biochemical alterations in
correlation with disease processes and their clinical manifestations. The course was very
detailed down to the molecular levels and utilized case studies were to develop the
information learned to evaluate and analyze how the cascade of events unfold and how
body systems are affected. By understanding the normal processes of the body, we are
able to understand the disease process more, why the symptoms are as they present
themselves and the rationale for the treatment used. It involved the understanding of lab
values, signs and symptoms presented, and how cells respond to various stimuli in various
stages in life, which became challenging. It also brings greater understanding on how the
body systems are connected to each other that although one system the symptoms may
manifest in a different system. By developing medical diagnosis weekly on case studies, it
provides understanding about the things that should be looked at clinically while taking into
account their age, culture, family dynamics and socio-economic status in providing an
appropriate care plan as a clinician. In developing these diagnoses, it provides the
opportunity to research more on the illness and treatment of these disease. There is
always constant research ongoing on disease causation and new treatment practices that
patients may benefit a lot from these new ideas. Our healthcare environment is evolving
rapidly and the demand for FNP nurse leaders increase as people seek access to primary
care. The understanding of pathophysiology in conjunction with research promotes
personal and professional growth, which is an important tool in becoming clinical nurse
leaders providing primary care who promote, maintain and restore health not just to
individuals but also to their families and communities across the life span.

Hello Professor and Class,
The MSN Scientific Core competency requires critical data and evidence
analysis to improve Nursing practice; integration of knowledge from humanities
and science; translating research and other knowledge to improve practice and
development of new practice approaches based on integration of research, theory
and practice (The National Organization of Nurse Practitioner Faculties, 2011). The
course was designed with the intent so that each week, students are able to
comprehend and demonstrate the different systems of the body first discussing the
normal body processes before discussing the diseases involved in the current
system being studied. By understanding advanced anatomy and physiology, an
understanding is gained in how a particular disease affects normal function of
6/20/2016 9:22:09 AMthese organs and systems. A systematic approach to problem solving provides a
good foundation as clinicians to be able to identify accurate differential diagnosis.
From this, it prompts us as clinicians to search for the best treatment modalities
for the patient, which essential to independent clinical practice as Nurse
practitioners. The search for advanced treatments leads us to research to improve
health practices, formulate with new ones as well as develop new health policies
that may benefit the community. As NPs proficiency in this course enables us to
apply this information and practice inquiry to improve health outcomes, policy and
healthcare delivery.

Dr. Brown and Class,
This class has been very educational and helpful in preparing me to become a
Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP). Program Outcome #4 was met after completing this
eight-week course. The outcome is aimed at evaluating the design, implementation,
and outcomes of strategies developed to meet healthcare needs. This outcome was met
by evaluating the three case studies that were completed each week. The case studies
presented a scenario and I was required to create a differential diagnosis and further
explore the primary diagnosis by discussing the testing, treatment, or epidemiology of
that diagnosis. The scenarios were ones that were likely to be seen during practice and
forming differential diagnosis prepared me to complete this task in the future as a
FNP. Through readings and lessons I learned of ways to meet healthcare needs. This
includes diseases that affect specifically children. There were one or two chapters
each week that focused on a different body system and how it is presented in the
pediatric population.
MSN Essential VIII is based on clinical prevention and population health to
improve health. A master’s-prepared nurse applies and integrates broad,
organizational, client-centered, and culturally appropriate concepts in planning,
delivering, and managing care for patients. This essential was met through completion
of this course. I was given a range of patients with different ages, rages, in the case
studies each week. Some of the case studies required me to form an appropriate
treatment plan for the patient, which needed to be patient-centered and culturally
appropriate. I also had to use evidence-based research to complete the case studies.
This not only furthered my skills in evidence based research, but also allowed me to
practice incorporating evidenced based practice into care.
The Nurse Practitioner (NP) Core Competency #1 includes critically analyzing
data and evidence for improving advanced nursing practice. It also includes
integrating knowledge, translating research, and developing new practice approaches.
The quizzes each week helped to meet this competency. They required the materialfrom the readings to be analyzed and translated each week to complete them. They
covered a lot of material and were a great way to evaluate knowledge of the material.
After reading the chapters each week and doing research for the case studies I was
able to develop new approaches to how I would look at symptoms and treat patients.
Keough, Stevenson, Martinovich, Young, and Tanabe (2011) found NPs have
been proven to provide high-quality, cost-effect care and are a huge part of today’s
healthcare system. This is an important time in the history of NP education. NPs are
responsible for interpreting laboratory results, ordering diagnostic tests, mentoring
NPs, and writing orders. It is important these competencies are gained through
educational programs. I feel this course has helped prepare me to one day be
proficient in these areas by the completion of case studies, quizzes, and instructor
feedback and discussion. I learned how to form differential diagnosis based on a
patient scenario including history, symptoms, and lab values. I learned how to create a
primary diagnosis and include tests and treatments for that diagnosis using evidence-
based research. I also gained advanced in-depth knowledge of diseases that I will
likely see in practice. This knowledge will help me fulfill my role as a FNP and meet
the outcomes discussed.
Thank you for a great eight weeks,
Sarah Boulware

From allergic rhinitis to advanced stages of dementia, we've covered so much ground in
this course. At times, elevating our evidenced based practice feels like attempting to take a
drink from an open and active free flowing fire hydrant. When you read the MSN Essential
VIII, that the FNP, “applies and integrates broad, organizational, client-centered, and
culturally appropriate concepts in the planning, delivery, management, and evaluation of
evidence-based clinical prevention and population care and services to individuals, families,
and aggregates/identified populations,” the pressure and rate of that statement often feels
consumptive and daunting. During this class, perhaps the most useful information gleaned
was that we can’t know everything. As I have evolved in pathophysiology, it has often been
asked of mentoring NPs, MDs, and DOs how they can keep track and process all this
information. While there are sound suggestions like knowing guiding principles in patho,
and subscribing to ameliorating processes like relevant medical journals, the most colorful
comment was, “You know why it sometimes takes so long for the doctor to see you after
announcing your chief complaint in the office or after we have done our assessment of
you? We are in our office looking it up!!” While I would like to be a professional that
doesn’t have to look it up, the sentiment is resonant that we should lean into evidence
based resources, colleagues, and trusted materials to augment our clinical judgement. This
course has been exceptionally powerful in developing critical thinking skills throughdiscourse and developing differential diagnosis. Despite feeling like I had a handle on the
chief complaint with some of the presented case studies, it has been imperative to not be
locked into one way of thinking, so much so that you could miss what is really going on.
I’m grateful for extrinsically developing these skills through the differential process to
integrate NP core competency #1 to have scientific foundation of knowledge, translate
research, and motivate new approaches. Thank you to Dr. Brown and everyone in this
class for providing insights and thought provoking inquiries! Ultimately, I reflect that I
entered this field with a healthy sense of curiosity always asking why and this—I
believe—sustain me in school and medicine. Admittedly, there is a healthy fear as we soon
begin rotations because I know that I don’t know everything. The achievement of
completing program outcome #4 and this course implicates a thorough academic
foundation and strategy in preparation for these next steps moving into the next phase of
this program.

Hello Matthew,
I agree with you, we really have covered so much ground is such little time. I
felt like a "pinata" being bombarded with so much useful information. Through all this
it, it has opened up new understanding about disease processes, being objective when
looking at a patient and looking at the bigger picture when diagnosing and treating. It
has encouraged the importance of research not just for new treatment modalities but
also in understanding the "why's' and "how's" of the disease in order to find other
options that may be explored. This course has has truly been one of the foundations
in preparing us to becoming productive clinician's with the role of promoting health,
preventing disease and striving for educational and professional growth.

I appreciate your post so much!! Instead of feeling confident after finishing this

much information flowing from the class, and my cup is just 10 ml. Is fast as I scoop
up the information, other information is passing me by and I'm getting further behind.
I have been told my physicians many times that they can't know everything and that's
