Here is an example how I achieved 1 of the outcomes through working at a clinic.

But the paper wants me to use what I wrote on my papers to explain how I achieved the outcomes.

“Chamberlain College of Nursing Program Outcome #5 was achieved. Being able to advocate for positive health outcomes through compassionate, evidence-based collaborative advanced nursing practice was achieved through this practicum when I was able to educate a patient who had been declining cholesterol reducing medications. This patient, 49-yearold female, was diagnosed with diabetes, overweight, and hyperlipidemia 3 months ago before I met her. On her latest visit, she had lost 16 pounds (in 3 months), increased her exercise level to power walking for an hour 5 to 6 times a week, her A1C was lowered from 7.0 to 6.2, however her triglycerides had increased. This patient obtained all this progress on her own, with exercise and a better diet. I was able converse with this patient regarding her wonderful progress, however I presented her with the news of worsening triglycerides. As I was able to educate this patient regarding her nonmodifiable risk factors such as being African American, she seemed less resistant in starting simvastatin. Through learning specific strategies related to age, gender, culture and the community’s population, I am more confident in providing and educating intervention strategies to patients (AACN, 2017). I was able to address her concern that she did not want to be on medication the rest of her life. I explained that once we got her cholesterol levels and A1C at goal, and maintained those levels for at least 6 months, we would actually start lowering doses and slowly taking her off those medications she was not so fond of. She left the office giving compliments to the doctor and the office manager regarding her “new provider” (me). She was so grateful and happy with her plan of care she was determined on getting those numbers down. Another patient, came in recently to go over her medications, new lab 8 results and she wanted to see if we could shrink her long list of medications she was under. After reviewing her latest labs, and doing medication reconciliation, we were able to discontinue about 5 prescriptions she no longer needed. According to Pulford (2016), older people with complex multiple co-morbidities are now the main business for health and social care in every setting. This patient was educated on the need to continue her gluten free diet, continue her exercise routine and to return in 6 months to recheck her cholesterol levels, her weight and A1C to make sure her levels were still under control. This patient was also very pleased with all the information she was given plus the discontinuation of medications she no longer needed
