• Trends and Issue Paper (25%)
to identify a trend and issue in nursing for further analysis. The trend and issue may be one commonly experienced by some or all of the group members,
Guidelines & Grading Criteria:
Title
o Begin the body of the paper with an introductory paragraph or two that summarizes the author’s major ideas or points using your own words. The word summary would be the first level 1 APA heading, but since it immediately follows the title, it should be omitted. APA does not use back to back headings.
Trend or Issue
o Identify the trend or issue in nursing. Identify by position or role the healthcare colleagues or partners who were involved in gathering further information about the trend and issue. (10 points)
Relevant Factors
o Discuss the relevant factors or components of the trend and issue, supporting statements with research, evidence-based practices, or credible resource references. (20 points)
Current and Future Impact
o Assess the current and future impact of the issue on primary healthcare and nursing practice. (20 points)
Legal and Ethical Aspects
o Identify relevant legal and ethical aspects of the trend and issue. (10 points)
Plan and Recommendations
o Formulate a plan and recommendations to effectively address the trend and issue through change. (10 points)
Outcomes
o Identify at least three realistic, measurable outcomes for the plan. (10 points)
References
o The title of the paper should be related to the topic of your specific paper. Do not use the title of an article as the title of the paper. Utilize the syllabus grading criteria as level one headings.
o The body of the paper must be five to seven pages in length. Follow APA guidelines for manuscript preparation. Do not use a bulleted or numbered list. There must be a minimum of one direct quote and two paraphrases in the body of the paper. One paraphrase must cite multiple works in the same parenthesis (APA p. 263). There must be a concluding paragraph rather than just an ending, but do not include Conclusion as a level one heading.
o Review the APA manual pages 316-317 to formulate the proper citation for your articles based on whether a digital object identifier (doi) is available or not. Dr. Paper and other software for APA formatting are not recommended. Do not use the APA feature in Word as it does not allow faculty to insert comments and tracked changes. Use the Cite feature of the database, but remember to make necessary APA corrections.
o The reference list must include at least five peer-reviewed journal references (nursing journals if possible) not more than five years old.
o Non-peer reviewed articles, other books, and websites may be additional references, but Wikipedia and similar sites are not acceptable.
o Only paraphrases and quotes in the body of the paper appear on the reference page.
