In addition, consider the intervention that you proposed to improve the issue. With both the issue and the intervention in mind, respond to the following: • • • What type of evidence produced through quantitative research would be helpful to better understand the selected practice issue? How might quantitative research findings shape your efforts to improve the issue? Describe an example (real or hypothetical) of a quantitative research design that would provide valuable evidence regarding this issue. Discussion 2 : MSN-prepared nurses serve as leaders across a wide array of healthcare and organizational contexts, influencing individuals, teams, organizations, and communities. Recognizing this far-reaching impact of the MSN-prepared nurse as leader in shaping healthcare and the profession, respond to the following. • • • • Why are self-care and self-leadership important, and how do they relate to one’s competency as a leader?
