The guidelines for this assignment are:

1. Identify one legal issue relevant to your area of nursing practice (or an area you would like to pursue in the future). Describe how this issue is relevant to your specific day-to-day practice.

2. Research this issue by reviewing scholarly nursing and related literature. At least 5 recent (within 2-5 years) professional references must be used. Older resources that are classic are in addition to these 5 papers. Note: Wikipedia is not a professional resource.

3. Analyze this issue using the literature you reviewed to support your position.

4. Based upon your analysis, draw conclusions as to how this issue affects day-to-day nursing practice. You must support your conclusions with literature, rather than opinion.

This assignment must include a cover page, 3-4 pages of narrative, and a reference list. APA format (6th edition) must be used to format your cover page, headings and subheadings, citations within the narrative, and reference list.

You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.

Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.

Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.

The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.
