Question

• This paper is to show evidence of reading of professional literature and critical thinking and synthesis related to the specific focus of the paper.

• The points earned on the course papers and assignments will be based on the level of evidence of critical thinking, synthesis, thoroughness, and clarity in meeting the criteria.

• Only primary references may be used. Magazines, such as Nursing (year), Nursing Made Incredibly Easy, and RN and websites that are not subjected to scientific rigor, such as Wikipedia, are not considered professional literature and may not be used as professional references. Use of secondary references and/or non-professional references will result in a reduction in the grade earned on course assignments when professional references are needed and required.
