Search the databases reviewed in Unit 5 and retrieve three articles from a peer-reviewed journal on the topic professional role transition. Save a copy of each article on your desktop. Assignment should be no more than 4 pages in length and referenced appropriately.

The Process – List the databases you searched. List the search terms that were most effective.

The Results – Using the Scholarly Evidence illustration state what level of evidence the articles represent. And answer the first and second question listed in Unit 5, Section 5.2 Key Questions:

What is the source of the evidence?
Is it a scholarly peer-reviewed journal?
What do you know about the author(s) of the evidence?
Are they known to be experts in the evidence field?
For example, does the journal target general practice nurses or practitioners in a nursing specialty area? What do you know about the author(s) or the evidence? Are they known to be experts in the evidence field?

Write a Summary – Imagine that you have been asked by your nurse manager to combine your findings into a brief one-page summary to add to a staff education binder. Find the common themes of these articles and summarize your findings. Your summary must be grammatically correct, cited using APA format in accordance with the current edition, and have an accurate reference list.

What is the patient’s role in bedside handover? What are the barriers to patients enacting their role in bedside handover? What strategies enable patient participation in bedside handover?

Implications to Nursing Practice and Patient Outcomes

The research question guiding this systematic review is: how can patient participation in nursing bedside handover be enacted, from the perspective of patients, nurses, and from a local implementation perspective. Within this overarching question, three sub questions require addressing:

1) What is the patient’s role in bedside handover? (Research: how the intervention works; QI projects: feasibility of the intervention in practice and how it is shaped to be relevant and sustainable)

2) What are the barriers to patients enacting their role in bedside handover? (Research: why the intervention works; QI projects: salient contextual issues for implementation)

3) What strategies enable patient participation in bedside handover? (Research: why the intervention works; QI projects: salient con- textual issues for implementation)

Reflection Scholarly Paper – Introduction to APA style of writing Pt Centered Care Module

Introduction to APA scholarly paper Rubric

Common Errors I find:

Writing & Grammer in APA – See APA book Chapter 4 (specifically 4.1, 4.4, 4.5, 4.6, 4.7, 4.8, 4.12, 4.13, 4.15, 4.16, 4.21, 4.22, 4.23, 4.24)

Paper Elements and Format – See APA book Chapter 2 (specifically 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, 2.8, 2.11, 2.12, 2.16, 2.19, 2.21, 2.22, 2.24, 2.26, 2.27)

“Writing a 3-2-1 Reflection Paper”

As you watch each of the videos, in the Patient-Centered Care Module, take brief notes on key points or major “take-aways” for you.

Create an introduction paragraph that summarizes the content of the paper. Answer each of the questions using the provided headings on the attached template, then create a summary/conclusion paragraph based on your thoughts. Use the provided template to help you format your paper. APA 7th edition formatting is required for all references and in-text citations. You will need to research how to properly format a reference and cite a YouTube video. Since this is a reflection paper, you may use first person in your writing style where appropriate.

Review the rubric carefully before you begin writing your paper!

  • Main points of the research article
  • Major strengths and weaknesses of the study
  • Significance of the topic
  • Discussion of the nurse’s role in the subject matter
  • Further research needed on the subject matter

Part 2 of the paper utilizes additional journal articles to explore how facilities can better care for older adults by providing for their neurological, sensory and sleep needs and includes this content:

Describe how facilities caring for older adults are currently providing for the sensory and sleep needs of the older adult.

How does providing for neurological, sensory and sleep needs benefit the older adult?
