Week 2 Discussion Board: What is an NP? Directions Please post your response to your assigned scenario by Sunday midnight. Then, read and respond to the posts by the groups before Tuesday midnight. See below for explicit instructions. Part 1: There are four scenarios below. Group 1 correlates with Scenario 1 , etc. Please read through your scenario and post on the discussion board how you would reply. Most people will only listen for less than a minute. Your response should be concise to ensure listener engagement. Your initial response should be no more than 1-2 paragraphs. Scenario #1: You are at Thanksgiving Dinner and Uncle Roy asks you, “What are you in school for again, super nursing school? Why didn’t you just go to medical school?” How would you reply? Scenario #2: You go in to see your patient you have been following in primary care for 5 years. Your patient states, “ I see on your badge you are still practicing to be a nurse. When will you finish?” (This actually happened to me.) How will you reply? Scenario #3: You go into a room to see a patient you have never seen before. You introduce yourself as the nurse practitioner. The patient states, “I thought I was seeing a doctor. What is a nurse practitioner and when is the doctor coming in?” How will you reply? Scenario #4: You are visiting the Sing Sing Maximum security prison health facility for research. A prisoner goes missing and you are caught in a security lock down until the prisoner is found. You are secured in a small room of the health facility with the physician of the institution for an unknown period of time. After five minutes of silence he states, “What do you think you are doing trying to pretend you are a doctor. My daughter is going to medical school and you people are going to make it so there are no jobs for her.” (This actually happened to me too.) How do you reply? Part 2: Please review the posts for all of your classmates in your group. After the initial post due date (Sunday at midnight which is the due date set for the assignment) please make at least two substantive replies to your peers with comments, reactions, or feedback you have to their initial post. Please complete this by the following Tuesday. Remember that you should use at least 2 references.
