The product of a doctoral degree is a completed and defended dissertation. To begin developing the dissertation, scholars go to the literature, synthesize the information found there, and build arguments that support the need for a study. The literature, then, is the foundational building block of the dissertation. In this assignment, you will analyze and synthesize the contents of several empirical articles to arrive at and defend a potential topic for your dissertation. Please note that this potential topic will be refined through the iterative dissertation development process as additional scholarly literature is identified, read, and synthesized and the study honed to a manageable scope.

General Requirements:
Use the following information to ensure successful completion of the assignment:

• This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion. 
• Doctoral learners are required to use APA style for their writing assignments. The APA Style Guide is located in the Student Success Center. 
• Refer to the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association for specific guidelines related to doctoral-level writing. The manual contains essential information on manuscript structure and content, clear and concise writing, and academic grammar and usage. 
• This assignment requires that at least two additional scholarly research sources related to this topic, and at least one in-text citation from each source be included. 
• You are required to submit this assignment to LopesWrite. Refer to the LopesWrite Technical Support articles for assistance.
   

Directions:
Locate three peer reviewed, empirical articles related to the potential broad topic area of your dissertation. Remember, your topic area must align with your degree program. Select only articles that have been published within the last 2-3 years and that could logically be included in the literature review of your dissertation.

Write a brief description of the articles (250-300 words total) that includes the following information for each article:

1. A statement of what the authors studied.
2. A statement that generally describes the study participants.
3. A description of the study findings.
4. A statement of one limitation or future study idea identified in the article.

Write an argument (250-500 words) that presents a potential study topic for your dissertation and defends the need for the potential study. The topic must emerge from a synthesis of the limitations or future study ideas you identified above, and the argument must describe how the potential study might address the synthesized limitations or future study ideas.

As an advanced practice nurse assisting physicians in the diagnosis and treatment of disorders, it is important to not only understand the impact of disorders on the body, but also the impact of drug treatments on the body. The relationships between drugs and the body can be described by pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics.

Pharmacokinetics describes what the body does to the drug through absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion, whereas pharmacodynamics describes what the drug does to the body.

Post a description of the patient case from your experiences, observations, and/or clinical practice from the last 5 years. Then, describe factors that might have influenced pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic processes of the patient you identified. Finally, explain details of the personalized plan of care that you would develop based on influencing factors and patient history in your case. Be specific and provide examples.

Read the study materials on leadership and complete the topic quiz activities to better understand your leadership qualities.

Upon completion, summarize and share with your group what you learned about your specific leadership qualities, so you can become familiar with how you are similar and different from your peers when it comes to being a leader.

As a group, review the study materials related to servant leadership. Using what you have learned about the tenets of servant leadership and traits and practices of successful leaders, create a 10-12 slide PowerPoint presentation with speaker notes. Add an additional slide for references at the end of your presentation.  

Include the following in your presentation:

1. Each group member: Create a slide that      summarizes your leadership style, traits, and practices.
2. Compare      the personal leadership styles of your group members, including      commonalities between group members’ strengths and weaknesses.
3. Explain      why it is important for nursing professionals to be aware of their      personal leadership style, traits, and practices.
4. Discuss what leadership traits and      styles are necessary to be an effective communicator. Explain the      importance of leaders adapting communication approaches when working      interprofessionally (across ancillary departments, vendors, community      members).
5. Discuss      how nursing professionals can benefit from integrating the tenets of      servant leadership to empower and influence others as they lead.
6. Discuss      how leaders who practice servant leadership and have a strong      understanding of their personal leadership traits can successfully lead      others and navigate the unique challenges that are part of nursing and      health care. Provide two examples that illustrate your main ideas.
