Topic 3 - Professional Development in Nursing Topic 3 DQ 1 Discussion Response to Taharah Hello, Based on your discussion, it is evidenced that advanced nursing education and lifelong learning are essential in improving patient outcomes, especially for patients with lasting disorders like depressive disorders

. In addition, adopting these developments helps in clinical actions and critical reasoning by strengthening the processional nurses to continue learning to improve patient care quality while maintaining and promoting competency (Mlambo et al., 2021). This is essential, especially for grown-up patients who become increasingly self-directed and independent in learning as they age. Moreover, I agree with you that the health sector is ever-changing, and continued learning assists RNs in updating their understanding and skills to enhance patient outcomes by keeping pace with technological advancement. Lastly, based on your analysis that patient outcome relies only on nurses' education, it is evident that you disagree with this research. However, this research is crucial in improving patient outcomes despite being influenced by other factors like available resources. Reference Mlambo, M., Silén, C., & McGrath, C. (2021).
