The goal of this assignment is for you to identify a concern for your role as an advanced practice nurse and to develop a potential policy change to address that concern, which is called Barriers to Practice in Florida. There are numerous potential issues that may have an impact on your practice setting or other issues that may have a negative impact on the patients with whom you work. You can consider the issue in relation to your health promotion project of preventing venous leg ulcers, which is based on ARHQ.gov and the CDC.gov as evidence-based guidelines. The policy you are considering could be a reaction to the health promotion issue or something larger that is still related to it.
