For this weeks discussion board think about all of the concepts you read about- Growth mindset/Fixed mindset, culturally competent care, individualized care, patient autonomy, advanced practice coaching and guidance skills, ethical autonomy, diverse approaches to individualized care, boundary and somatic awareness....There are so many options for you to choose from to highlight in your DB post for this week.

After reviewing the materials for this week, choose the one that resonated with you the most. Please answer the following:

First Paragraph: What is the significance of your chosen topic in the field of advanced practice nursing? Why did you choose this topic?

Second Paragraph: Do some self reflection and think about characteristics and attributes that you already possess that would support any of the 6 characteristics of direct APN care.  Identify the characteristics and attributes that you would like to strengthen.
