An annotated bibliography provides a foundation for you to search and review pertinent literature that aligns with the content and concepts of this course. Through an organized and guided review of the literature, you will begin to develop an understanding of the various types of literature that is causal, biased, and/or peer reviewed. As you progress in your professional education, you will need to learn how to successfully identify peer-reviewed articles within scholarly journals.
Assignment
For this assignment, you will create an annotated bibliography on a topic related to nursing.
Please locate the CNI Library and conduct a comprehensive search the scholarly literature for at least 3 peer-reviewed articles published within 5 years. This annotated bibliography should provide sufficient background on your topic with current relevance to nursing practice.
Each article in your annotative bibliography should be referenced according to current APA format. After the reference, you will include a summary, assessment, and a reflection:
Summary: Your summary should focus on an analysis of the information within the article. Please avoid simply repeating the article content. Question the main purpose of the article, main arguments, main points, and main focus. Include the type of research was used in the article and the findings or results.
Assessment: The next step after your summary will be your assessment or evaluation. Question the reliability of the information and if the delivery was objective or biased. Question any limitations, strengths, and weaknesses. How was this content relevant to your topic of interest?
Reflection: The last step is your reflection on how this article aligns with your topic interest. How can you use this article to support or show a contrast on your topic? Describe how the information in the article added to your understanding of your topic. Question if the article influenced your perspective on your topic.
Length: 3-4 pages, not including the title and reference page
References: Include 3 scholarly, peer-reviewed resources
Each annotative bibliography should be no longer than one page. Your submission should include a title page and reference page. Your response should reflect scholarly writing and current APA standards. Be sure to adhere to CNI College Academic Integrity Policy.
