Week 1: Comparison of the DNP and Ph.D. Roles in Nursing Only in collaboration, can DNP and Ph.D. scholars support the delivery of safe, cost-efficient, evidence-based quality health care. Reflect upon the roles of the practice and research scholar to answer the following questions. Compare and contrast the roles of the practice (DNP) and research (Ph.D.) scholar. How do these roles complement one another in translating research into practice? How could these roles add value in addressing a practice problem at your workplace?

In the modern era, there are few professions that do not to some extent rely on data. Stockbrokers rely on market data to advise clients on financial matters. Meteorologists rely on weather data to forecast weather conditions, while realtors rely on data to advise on the purchase and sale of the property. In these and other cases, data not only help solve problems but adds to the practitioner’s and the discipline’s body of knowledge. Of course, the nursing profession also relies heavily on data. The field of nursing informatics aims to make sure nurses have access to the appropriate date to solve healthcare problems, make decisions in the interest of patients, and add to knowledge. In this Discussion, you will consider a scenario that would benefit from access to data and how such access could facilitate both problem-solving and knowledge formation. To Prepare: Reflect on the concepts of informatics and knowledge work as presented in the Resources. Consider a hypothetical scenario based on your own healthcare practice or organization that would require or benefit from the access/collection and application of data. Your scenario may involve a patient, staff, or management problem or gap. By Day 3 of Week 1Post a description of the focus of your scenario. Describe the data that could be used and how the data might be collected and accessed. What knowledge might be derived from that data? How would a nurse leader use clinical reasoning and judgment in the formation of knowledge from this experience?

This morning she was experiencing a really bad headache as her boyfriend was driving her to the university. He thought she was sleeping and by the time they got to the school, 45 minutes later, she was not waking up. She was diagnosed with a cerebral aneurysm and you are taking care of her in the Neurological ICU. What testing do you expect to be performed to diagnose brain death? What is the procedure when a patient is determined to be brain dead? Who should approach the family about organ donation? The family is approached about organ donation. The patient indicated on her driver’s license that she wanted to be an organ donor. Her mother refuses to consent for organ donation.Do you think donation should happen anyway? Why or why not? What will be the ethical consequences of your decision? Include in-text citation and 3 references
