PICO Writing

Assignment: Final Project Paper
First, begin your final project paper with a brief one paragraph introduction to your research topic (this will be the topic you selected and used throughout the course).
Next, the remainder of the paper will consist of answering your research question in relation to the evidence you found. At least one quotation from a source must be included in your topic and properly cited using APA style. Remember this is a formal paper, and the rules of correct writing will be applied — review the issues regarding plagiarism in Module 3.
Then, in your conclusion discuss how your information will impact your personal professional nursing practice. This is to be a very SHORT paper; not to exceed three (3) pages, not including the cover page and your references. It really is just an exercise in writing and using APA style.
Lastly, post your paper in both Discussions AND Assignment Submissions by the due date in the Course Schedule.
In Discussion Board, provide a substantive response to at least three (3) of your peer’s posts.
Remember: The outcome of this course is a paper that aims to answer your clinical question. Use the Final Project document for guidelines and the grading criteria.
