Answer
Response 1:
Professor and classmates:
The AACN BSN Essential that I choose is Essential VII: Clinical Prevention and Population Health. According to teachpopulationhealth.org the framework provides a common core of knowledge for clinical health professions about individual and population‐oriented prevention and health promotion efforts (teachpopulationhealth.org staff, n.d.). This will be important to my future nursing practice because I believe that disease prevention is key to healthier people on a general level. We must shift our focus on utilizing evidenced based practice to educate populations on “immunizations, screenings, and counseling aimed at preventing escalation of diseases and conditions” (AACN, 2018) and using effective “interprofessional communication and collaboration to improve patient outcomes and clinical prevention” (Hood, 2018, pg 20).
