Imagine you are part of a health care team caring for a diverse patient population where there are challenges with communication, patient trust, and team collaboration. Although you are not the manager, others begin to look to you for guidance.
What is the first action you would take in this situation, and why? Consider both your interactions with the team and your approach to patient care.
In a 2–3 page reflection, respond to this scenario by describing how you would think and act as an APRN leader.
In your response, be sure to:
Explain how you would demonstrate leadership in this situation and how your actions would differ from those of a nurse manager. Describe how you would apply servant leadership principles in your interactions with patients and members of the health care team. Include your ideas on how one could integrate scientific knowledge with faith-in-action, integrating culturally sensitive and diverse approaches to advanced nursing care. You may present your response as a narrative, reflective essay, or story, but it should clearly illustrate your leadership approach in this situation.
Requirements
Length: 2–3 pages Sources: Include 1–2 scholarly sources to support your ideas. Sources should be used to support your leadership approach and application of servant leadership. Briefly connect your sources to your ideas (e.g., “According to…” or “Research suggests…”), rather than simply listing them. APA Style: Use basic APA Style format for in-text citations and reference list only (title page, running head, page numbering and abstract not required)
