Directions for Part I:

Write the pathophysiology portion of your scholarly paper using proper citations (Refer to directions for Part II below). This will allow instructors to give feedback on your writing style and APA.
Conduct library research (CINAHL) to find resources for your paper including the required nursing article: see items 2b, 2c, and 2d below. Include a resource for the QSEN and NPSG portion of your paper as well as information on current applicable research. To do this search NHCC library nursing subscriptions under the NHCC home page/Student Resources/Library/Search Subscription Resources/Nursing/ CINAHL with Full Text or the American Journal of Nursing
Create a double-spaced annotated bibliography, see resource given above and example in D2L. For each resource you should include the reference information, tell how you know the source is reliable, and then state how/where this source will be used in your paper.
Submit the following to the drop box by the due date on the course calendar:

Cover page
Pathophysiology section
Annotated bibliography

Directions for Part II:

Write a ten to twelve page, excluding title and reference page, scholarly APA paper expanding on the specific exemplar.
Follow the Rubric for Scholarly Writing as a guide, paying close attention to the far left column to earn full points.

Write in your own words minimizing the use of direct quotes.
APA style in-text citations should support your discussion. This is an evidence-based, scholarly project.
All references utilized in the preparation of the assignment must be included in your reference list. Simply omit the annotations from your references in Part I and include any additional resources to create your reference page for Part II.
Reference page must include at least one nursing journal article meeting the following criteria: less than five years old, written by a nurse, from a peer-reviewed journal, and published in the United States. Note: The article may include a topic different than but related to your actual disease exemplar. For example, an article on care-giver burden may relate to a scholarly discussion about Alzheimer’s disease. If you absolutely cannot find an article that meets criteria, discuss this with your advisor.
All references should be professional. A minimum of five references are required.

For APA questions, refer to the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association, (6th ed.). Also refer to scholarly resources, the Hoonuit modules, and APA Style under the NHCC home page. Faculty Recommend you work on this assignment well in advance and allow plenty of time to consult the Writing Center or Tutor.com
Include headings and discuss each of these topics as they relate to Tetralogy of Fallot, specifically addressing nursing implications. Change the order and group topics, as needed, to improve flow:
Pathophysiology
Pharmacotherapeutics and treatments including complementary and/or alternative modalities
Family considerations and potential caregiver burden
Religious and spiritual health
Psychosocial implications and social stigma
Quality and Safety Education for Nurses (QSEN)
Palliative care and end-of-life issues
Cultural, ethnic, socioeconomic, and communication issues
Disease process across the lifespan including age considerations
Applicable National Patient Safety Goal(s)
You should also include a “Discussion” section that identifies implications of the research findings on nursing practice and identifies gaps in areas of evidence that needs additional research.
The use of first person viewpoint and the pronoun “I” is typically avoided in

scholarly writing (Purdue Online Writing Lab, 2018, para. 6). Therefore, Do NOT use first person in your APA scholarly paper.

All scholarly work should have a strong introductory and concluding

paragraph. Per APA, these sections should NOT include headings that announce introduction or conclusion. See APA manual for more information.
