For this assignment you will write a minimum of a 4-5 page paper (no more than 5 pages, not including the title page, abstract, or reference page) connecting all of your links. Your paper should be in strict APA format including citations and references, and an abstract is required for this paper. You may use first person, but limited use.
Your paper should include:
- A 150- 200 word abstract.
- An introduction.
- The frame of your problem. Remember to include your framing information!
- Supportive organization.
- A second solution to your problem (see explanation below).
- An implementation and evaluation plan for your second solution including a discussion related to your stakeholders and resources.
- An overall evaluation of your ELP includes a discussion of your proposed solution; what you developed, what worked what did not, any stumbling blocks, what you learned.
- Preceptor (mentor) experience.
- A conclusion.
The Second Solution:
The paper includes a discussion of a hypothetical second solution, implementation, and evaluation. (numbers 5 and 6 above). A good nurse always has a back-up plan – or what are your next steps now that you implemented your ELP. This is where your second solution comes into play. Also, are there stakeholders or resources that might be available if there were a different solution? Is there a short term solution and a long term solution? Do you need to adjust your plan due to time or money constraints?
