Instructions Note: The requirements outlined below correspond to the grading criteria in the scoring guide. At a minimum, be sure to address each point. In addition, you are encouraged to review the performancelevel descriptions for each criterion to see how your work will be assessed. For this assessment, research best practices related to a current health care problem. Your selected problem or issue will be utilized again in Assessment 3. To explore your chosen topic, you should use the first two steps of the Socratic Problem-Solving Approach to aid your critical thinking. 1. View the Assessment Topic Areas media piece and select one of the health care problems or issues in the media piece to research. Write a brief overview of the selected topic. In your overview: • Summarize the health care problem or issue. • Describe your interest in the topic. • Describe any professional experience you have with this topic. 2. Identify peer-reviewed articles relevant to health care issue or problem. • Conduct a search for scholarly or academic peer-reviewed literature related to the topic and describe the criteria you used to search for articles, including the names of the databases you used. You will select four current scholarly or academic peer-reviewed journal articles published during the past 3–5 years that relate to your topic. • You will want to access the applicable Undergraduate Library Research Guide related to your degree (found at the NHS Learner Success Lab) for tips to help you in your search. • Use keywords related to the health care problem or issue you are researching to select relevant articles. 3. Assess the credibility and explain relevance of the information sources you find. • Determine if the source is from an academic peer-reviewed journal. • Determine if the publication is current. • Determine if information in the academic peer-reviewed journal article is still relevant. 4. Analyze academic peer-reviewed journal articles using the annotated bibliography organizational format. Provide rationale for inclusion of each selected article. The purpose of an annotated bibliography is to document a list of references along with key information about each one. The detail about the reference is the annotation. Developing this annotated bibliography will create a foundation of knowledge about the selected topic. In your annotated bibliography: • Identify the purpose of the article. • Summarize the information. • Provide rationale for inclusion of each article. • Include the conclusions and findings of the article. • Write your annotated bibliography in a paragraph form. The annotated bibliography should be approximately 150 words (1–3 paragraphs) in length. • List the full reference for the source in APA format (author, date, title, publisher, et cetera) and use APA format for the annotated bibliography. • Make sure the references are listed in alphabetical order, are double-spaced, and use hanging indents. 5. Summarize what you have learned from developing an annotated bibliography. • Summarize what you learned from your research in a separate paragraph or two at the end of the paper. • List the main points you learned from your research. • Summarize the main contributions of the sources you chose and how they enhanced your knowledge about the topic. Example Assessment: You may use the following to give you an idea of what a Proficient or higher rating on the scoring guide would look like: • Assessment 2 Example [PDF]. Additional Requirements Your assessment should also meet the following requirements: • Length: 3–5 typed, double-spaced pages, not including the title page and reference page. • Font and font size: Times New Roman, 12 point. • APA template: Use the APA Style Paper Template [DOCX] as the paper format and the APA Style Paper Tutorial [DOCX] for guidance. • Written communication: Write clearly and logically, with correct use of spelling, grammar, punctuation, and mechanics. • Content: Provide a title page and reference page following APA style. • References: Use at least four scholarly or academic peer-reviewed journal articles. • APA format: Follow current APA guidelines for in-text citation of outside sources in the body of your paper and also on the reference page. How do you approach a problem or issue within your organization? How often do you need credible information to solve a personal or professional problem? Credible information is information that is trustworthy. One of the best sources for credible information is the professional literature of the field you are studying; in your case, health care. Professional literature is research that has been written and reviewed by other people in your field.
