Tips in writing this paper: 
Invariably the question that comes up is: How many references should I use? A rule of thumb is at least one reference per page. Use only professional references which include nursing or other healthcare-related journals, professional websites, or textbooks. Newspapers and popular magazines are not considered professional references.
Safe assign scores: Follow syllabus and rubric, exceptions are only allowed for higher scores identified due to title page and references. Revise if the body of the content is highlighted in your safe assign report, paraphrase and resubmit. 
Utilize the bolded and underlined words shown above as sub-headings (avoid copying and pasting the entire rubric phrase as a sub-heading this will increase your safe assign score, just use a word or two as a sub-header). This will keep it organized and easy to follow.
Please reach out if you need additional guidance or any other questions. 

Select a community organization or group that you feel would be interested in learning about ethical and policy issues that affect the coordination of care. Then, develop and record a 10-12-slide, 20-minute presentation, with audio, intended for that audience.
