This week’s assignment is to write the first, and most important, part of your paper.
The introduction is designed to define the topic (ex. Lateral violence in nursing—how is it defined? How prevalent is the problem? Are there distinguishing types of lateral violence? How does this affect the nursing population? Why is this topic an ethical dilemma for nurses/nursing profession?)
The term “ethical dilemma” refers to a situation where choices need to be made, the answers may not be clear, the options are not ideal and there may be active barriers to a reasonable solution
The topic is objectively defined and described. As nurses we have a duty to our patients to advocate for them. At the same time, we must keep ourselves out of the situation. This section must address the topic with objectivity and facts.
There are no “I” statements or opinions voiced in this section—there will be a place for that in the Professional Response section.
Use the rubric heading for this section of the paper (in fact, put all rubric headings in following the introduction so they are not overlooked when you are writing the rest of the paper).
At least one professional journal article should be cited to substantiate the facts that are relevant to the overarching topic
The introduction will vary in length but should be at least one page (double-spaced 12-pt. font text).Choose a topic of an ethical nursing issue that is of interest to you that is relevant to
nurses/nursing practice. Ideally, you will choose a topic in which you do not have great
deal of knowledge or pre-conceived ideas. This topic will also be relevant to nursing
practice. Journals and articles other than those in the nursing profession may be
considered. This assignment is a formally written paper in APA format, 7th edition. A
minimum of three professional references is required. You may use internet sites and
articles but they will not be counted as a professional citation. A pdf. version of the
paper may NOT be submitted—only a Word document that can be edited will be
accepted for assessment/grading.
