In order to fulfil your DNP degree at Walden, you will complete non-clinical coursework, practicum hours, and a DNP Project Aligning the essentials with a gap in practice or practice change In order to fulfil your DNP degree at Walden, you will complete non-clinical coursework, practicum hours, and a DNP Project. Both the clinical hours you will complete as part of your Practicum and your DNP Project will align with specific Domains as defined in The Essentials. Your DNP Project will focus on a gap in practice or practice change designed to improve quality within the organization at which you are doing your Practicum. The specifics of this will be decided later on, but at this early stage of your program, you should begin thinking about 1) the types of organizations you might select for your practicum experiences and 2) gaps in practice or practice changes that could be identified within these organizations. As you do this, keep in mind how the gaps in practice or practice changes will align with The Essentials. Resources Be sure to review the Learning Resources before completing this activity. Click the weekly resources link to access the resources. WEEKLY RESOURCES To prepare: Review the Learning Resources for this week, specifically Chapter 4 of Bissett et al. (2025) addressing the practice question, AACN’s The Essentials, the Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) Practicum Manual, and the DNP Project Process Guide.

Describe at least one strategy you have used (academically and/or professionally) in the past that empowered you in one or more of the following areas: planning, time management, studying, or effective technology Blog: strategies for empowerment In this course, you will produce a series of Blog entries to be shared with your colleagues. Blogs help facilitate a meaningful and more informal classroom environment—one that fosters dialogue, interaction, and the dissemination of ideas in a functional platform (Kuo et al., 2017). Blogs also promote community-building and a collaborative learning approach through the sharing of ideas. Although this blog may function somewhat like a discussion, it’s aim is to be more open-ended and informal in terms of sharing perspectives, thoughts, and experiences on a given prompt. For this first Blog, you will reflect on your academic and professional experiences and write about strategies you have employed, or would like to employ, to help empower you to succeed as an online doctoral student.

Shadow Health Chest Pain Brian Foster – Guide to Focused Exam Documentation and Objective Data
Introduction to Shadow Health Chest Pain Brian Foster Case Study The shadow health chest pain Brian Foster simulation represents one of the most comprehensive and clinically relevant virtual patient encounters in nursing education. This focused exam module challenges nursing students to conduct a thorough cardiovascular assessment while developing critical thinking skills essential for real-world patient care. Understanding the Brian Foster shadow health case is crucial for students preparing for clinical rotations and NCLEX preparation. According to the American Heart Association (2024), cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of death in the United States, accounting for approximately 928,741 deaths annually. Chest pain is one of the most common chief complaints in emergency departments, with over 8 million visits per year related to chest discomfort (CDC, 2023). These statistics underscore the critical importance of mastering chest pain assessment skills through simulations like the shadow health focused exam chest pain module. Overview of the Brian Foster Shadow Health Scenario Brian Foster shadow health presents a 58-year-old male patient experiencing chest pain, requiring students to perform a systematic and focused assessment. The shadow health focused exam chest pain module tests students’ ability to collect pertinent subjective and objective data, formulate appropriate nursing diagnoses, and develop evidence-based care plans. Table 1: Key Patient Demographics and Risk Factors in Brian Foster Case Factor Details Clinical Significance Age 58 years old Men ≥45 years have increased CVD risk Gender Male Males have higher risk of early MI Chief Complaint Chest pain/pressure Potential acute coronary syndrome Onset During physical exertion Suggests possible cardiac etiology Medical History Hypertension Major modifiable risk factor for CAD Family History Father had MI at age 62 Positive family history increases risk by 40-60% Medication Antihypertensive therapy Indicates chronic disease management In this simulation, students must demonstrate competency in: Conducting a focused cardiovascular assessment Differentiating cardiac from non-cardiac chest pain Collecting comprehensive patient history Performing appropriate physical examination techniques Documenting findings accurately Formulating appropriate nursing diagnoses Shadow Health Focused Exam Chest Pain: Key Assessment Components Understanding the Focused Exam Chest Pain Shadow Health Module The focused exam chest pain shadow health simulation requires students to prioritize assessment techniques specific to cardiovascular complaints. Research by Harder (2010) published in Clinical Simulation in Nursing demonstrated that high-fidelity simulation experiences improve clinical judgment scores by 23% compared to traditional clinical education alone.

Location: Where exactly is the pain located? Duration: How long does each episode last? Character: What does the pain feel like (crushing, sharp, burning)? Aggravating factors: What makes the pain worse (exertion, stress, eating)? Relieving factors: What makes it better (rest, nitroglycerin, antacids)? Timing: Is it constant or intermittent? Severity: On a scale of 0-10, how would you rate the pain? Associated Symptoms: Shortness of breath or dyspnea Diaphoresis (sweating) Nausea or vomiting Radiation of pain (arm, jaw, back) Palpitations Dizziness or lightheadedness Table 4: Likelihood
Cultural Competence in Research
Introduction: Why Cultural Competence Matters in Modern Research Cultural competence in research refers to the systematic integration of cultural awareness, knowledge, and sensitivity into every phase of the research process—from design and recruitment to data collection, analysis, and dissemination. As our global society becomes increasingly diverse, researchers face a critical mandate: conduct studies that not only include but genuinely respect and benefit participants from varied cultural backgrounds. This guide addresses the informational needs of researchers, institutional review board members, and research coordinators seeking to implement culturally competent practices. Whether you’re designing your first community-based study or refining recruitment strategies for underrepresented populations, understanding cultural competence in research is essential for producing valid, ethical, and impactful findings. The stakes are high. Studies lacking cultural competence risk perpetuating health disparities, generating biased data, and eroding trust between research institutions and the communities they aim to serve. According to the National Institutes of Health’s diversity guidelines, culturally competent research practices are now considered fundamental to scientific rigor, not merely ethical considerations (National Institutes of Health, 2023). Understanding the Core Framework of Cultural Competence in Research The Five Essential Components Cultural competence in research encompasses five interconnected domains that researchers must address systematically (Cross, Bazron, Dennis, & Isaacs, 1989; Fisher et al., 2002): 1. Valuing Diversity This foundational principle requires researchers to view cultural differences not as obstacles to standardization but as valuable perspectives that enrich scientific inquiry. In practice, this means recognizing that Western research paradigms represent one worldview among many valid approaches to knowledge generation (Trimble & Fisher, 2006). Research teams explicitly trained in valuing diversity report significantly higher retention rates among minority participants compared to standard protocols (George, Duran, & Norris, 2014). The difference stems from researchers’ willingness to adapt procedures—such as offering flexible appointment times that accommodated religious observances or providing materials in multiple formats to honor oral tradition preferences. 2. Cultural Self-Assessment Researchers must examine their own cultural assumptions, biases, and limitations. This introspection extends beyond individual reflection to institutional practices (Tervalon & Murray-García, 1998). For example, when designing diabetes prevention studies targeting Hispanic/Latino communities, researchers who conducted cultural self-assessments revealed that their recruitment materials used clinical terminology unfamiliar to many potential participants. By recognizing this gap and partnering with community health workers to translate not just language but conceptual frameworks, recruitment outcomes improved substantially (Horowitz, Robinson, & Seifer, 2009). 3. Managing Cultural Differences This component addresses the practical skills needed to navigate cultural dynamics. It involves understanding communication styles, decision-making processes, concepts of time, and authority relationships that vary across cultures (Sue et al., 1982). The American Psychological Association’s guidelines emphasize that managing cultural differences requires moving beyond surface-level accommodations (American Psychological Association, 2017). For instance, in Indigenous communities, research protocols may need to incorporate collective consent processes rather than individual informed consent, reflecting communal decision-making traditions (Pacheco et al., 2013). 4. Acquiring Cultural Knowledge Researchers must invest time in learning specific information about the cultural groups they study. This goes far beyond demographic statistics to include historical context, migration patterns, experiences with discrimination, health beliefs, and community strengths (Betancourt, Green, Carrillo, & Ananeh-Firempong, 2003). The National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities has funded numerous projects specifically focused on building researchers’ cultural knowledge through community partnerships. These initiatives demonstrate that researchers who spend substantial time in community immersion before study launch achieve higher enrollment rates than those who rely solely on literature reviews (Wallerstein & Duran, 2006). 5. Adapting to Cultural Contexts The final component requires flexibility in research methods and procedures. Adaptation doesn’t mean compromising scientific rigor; rather, it involves achieving the same research objectives through culturally appropriate means (Bernal, Bonilla, & Bellido, 1995). For example, mental health studies in East Asian American communities have successfully adapted standardized depression screening tools after discovering that participants were more comfortable discussing physical symptoms than emotional states—a cultural communication pattern (Hwang, Myers, Abe-Kim, & Ting, 2008). The adapted protocols maintained diagnostic validity while improving participant comfort and data quality. Why Cultural Competence Enhances Research Quality Beyond ethical imperatives, cultural competence directly improves research validity. Culturally incompetent research generates three primary types of bias (Mertens & Ginsberg, 2008): Selection bias: Certain populations systematically avoid participation due to cultural barriers Measurement bias: Assessment tools fail to capture culturally distinct manifestations of phenomena Interpretation bias: Findings are analyzed through cultural frameworks that don’t match participants’ experiences FDA guidance on diversity in clinical trials explicitly states that cultural competence is a prerequisite for generating generalizable findings, particularly for drugs and interventions intended for diverse populations (U.S. Food and Drug Administration, 2020). Practical Implementation: Building Culturally Competent Research Teams Team Composition and Training Cultural competence in research begins with intentional team building. The most effective research teams include members who reflect the diversity of target populations—not merely as recruiters but as co-investigators and decision-makers (Israel et al., 1998). Real-World Example: Cardiovascular health studies in African American communities with documented histories of research exploitation have demonstrated success when community representatives are invited into research design teams from conception rather than hired as liaisons after protocol development (Corbie-Smith, Thomas, & St. George, 2002). This collaborative approach results in significant protocol modifications including: Changed blood draw procedures to accommodate work schedules Restructured compensation to include immediate tangible benefits Incorporated community advisory boards with meaningful decision-making power Established transparent data-sharing agreements with community health centers Studies using these approaches achieve substantially higher retention rates compared to field averages for similar populations (Yancey, Ortega, & Kumanyika, 2006). Training Components That Work Effective cultural competence training includes multiple components (Beach et al., 2005): Didactic Learning (20% of training time): Foundational concepts, theoretical frameworks, and evidence base. However, data shows that didactic training alone produces minimal behavior change (Price et al., 2005). Experiential Learning (50% of training time): Immersive experiences including community site visits, participatory observation, and facilitated dialogue with community members. Meta-analyses indicate that experiential learning correlates with substantially greater improvement in culturally competent behaviors compared to classroom-only training (Truong, Paradies, & Priest, 2014). Reflective Practice (30% of
