An Ethical Perspective To support your work

An Ethical PerspectiveTo support your work, use your course and text readings and also use resources from the South University Online Library. As in all assignments, cite your sources in your work and provide references for the citations in APA format. You may use this APA Citation Helperas a convenient reference for properly citing resources or connect to the APA Style website throughTASKPost your initial response to one of the two topics below.Topic 1Nurses face many types of ethical issues. Discuss how you could assist patients and families who face ethical decisions? Describe an ethical theory or principle that could guide you in this process.Topic 2Examine one of the two models of socialization discussed in your readings. Place yourself in one of the stages based on your professional development at this point in your career. Provide your rationale for the model selected and stage identified. If none of the models or stages fits your experience, create your own model (or stage) and share it with the class.

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.
