While an attempt at revising and editing appears to have been made, there are still several MUGS errors that detract from the readability of the piece.

More detail and elaboration are needed for making this narrative “come to life.” Word choice is clear. Little attention was paid to the plot structure diagram. Very little detail is used; elaboration and development are lacking.

INSTRUCTIONS

ORDER A PLAGIARISM FREE PAPER NOW

In this Research Essay, you will start with a thoughtful healthcare-related question, gather research, and finally present that information to your peers and instructor with an objective, neutral attitude, in academic essay format.

Prompts (choose one):

Discuss a new technology or a newer way of doing things in the healthcare field, and how it has changed or revolutionized medicine and/or people’s lives.
For example, you could research and write about about robotics used in surgery, laparoscopic knee surgery, gallbladder surgery, hysterectomy surgery, etc. vs. traditional surgery. The focus should be on the benefits to the patient and to the healthcare staff, and the disadvantages (if there are any), without saying whether it is good or bad. Simply present the research you find about the impact on healthcare or patients and their recovery.
Go to the online journal Nursing Made Incredibly Easy found on the library website. Search for a healthcare-related topic that interests you. Using this topic (for example, Metformin), do further research on it by looking further in that database, or a similar one. What are the main aspects of this that are worth sharing?
Research a sub-specialty or an area of concentration in nursing. Research and share the basic duties and day-to-day reality of that career, as well as the education and training necessary for that career. For instance, you may wish to research what it takes to become a lactation consultant, and what the everyday realities of that job are.
Research a drug that either is in common use or is new to healthcare. Do not try to tell the reader if the drug is good or bad; just present what is known about the drug, including its history, as well as its drawbacks and benefits.
Research integrative or holistic healthcare and how it might help patients heal from problems both small and large. What are its main components? Where is it being carried out? What are the implications for the future of healthcare? What about the financial/monetary aspect of it (is it being funded or encouraged, or not? Why/why not?)
Your own research topic. You must discuss this with the professor and have the topic approved before moving forward.

Make sure that your submission meets the following requirements:

A clear thesis statement in the introductory paragraph
Strong organization of your ideas via academic essay format
Two to three quality, unique sources used, cited and referenced properly both in-text and on a References page
Synthesis of the source material (concrete detail) with your own writing (commentary)

of Scientific Knowledge in Nursing Writing Guide Prior to l950 Decade of the l950s Decade of the l960s Decade of the l970s Decade of the l980s 1990 and Beyond Conclusion Note: You do not have to use these headings. You can collapse some of the decades if you want or come up with headings that represent topics instead of time. However, this is a timeline so the expectation is that you will present information in chronological order. One way to organize this paper is to write one paragraph under each decade that describes what is happening in theory development and a second paragraph that describes what is happening in research. Logical order helps you to write and the reader to interpret your writing. If you choose to present information on theory and research separately within each decade, always keep to the same order. If theory is presented first for the first section, then present theory first in all others. If you integrate both together, do this for all. In APA, this is referred to as parallel construction. It enhances organization and readability. Two other APA criteria are clarity and precision. Be precise in your choice of words; use the same word when you mean the same thing. Avoid ambiguity. Your writing should be clear, not ambiguous. Do not use a thesaurus. This is a useful tool for English literature, not for writing in the social sciences. Learn the terminology for theory and research and use it freely. It is not plagiarism to use specialized terminology. Copyright © 2017 by University of Phoenix.
