Trends & Issues Assignment 2- Annotated Bibliography

An important aspect of professional nursing practice is the ability to critique and apply evidence-based research to your practice. This assignment will provide you the opportunity to research a current nursing trend that you have seen in your practice or is an area of interest.  You will then take the research findings (utilizing an annotated bibliography structure to critique the research) and integrate it with the CLPNA competencies. Finally, you will reflect on the evidence you have collected from your annotated bibliography and the accompanying CLPNA competency and explain how you will incorporate the research into your own practice in the future.

Learning Outcomes:

Discuss strategies to manage challenges as they relate to the role of the licensed practical nurse working within an interdisciplinary health care team.
Analyze situations where the licensed practical nurse must address issues of ethics and jurisprudence
Explain how changing trends in population health, socioeconomic issues, demographics, and technology affect licensed practical nursing practice
Plan lifelong learning strategies to maintain professional competency in

accordance to CLPNA Standards of Practice.

 

Learning Objectives:

            See Module 1, Module 2, Module 3, Module 6, Module 8, Module 9

Directions:

There are three components to this assignment.

Annotated Bibliography

In this assignment you will be utilizing an annotated bibliography to critically critique and review scholarly research. In an annotated bibliography, you must evaluate the research and provide a concise summary of the work in your own words (paraphrased). Do not simply quote the research outcomes, but fully synthesize the key findings of the research in your own words. You must also identify areas of strength and weakness in the research. You may choose to work individually or in pairs. If working individually you will need to review 2 scholarly articles and 4 scholarly articles if working in pairs. Scholarly articles should be within 5-7 years.

Your assignment is to be a maximum 3 pages (individual) and 6 pages (pairs) excluding your title page and references. Anything beyond page limit will not be graded.

Application of Research to CLPNA Competencies.

After thorough synthesis and analysis of the research, you will need to identify which CLPNA competency connects to the research you reviewed and apply the knowledge gained from your annotated bibliography to the competency. 

If you choose to work individually you must utilize 1 CLPNA competency and if you work in pairs 2 CLPNA competencies must be identified. 

Application of Evidence/ Competencies in current or future practice.

Finally, taking the evidence, you have collected from your annotated bibliography and the accompanying CLPNA competency, explain how you will incorporate the research into your own practice in the future.

Assignment and Learner Resources:

 

APA, Writing, and Learner Resources

 

The Bow Valley College Library can help with searching research databases, finding scholarly articles, and some APA formatting resources. Please visit https://bowvalleycollege.libguides.com/apa7 for resources or stop by the library desk. 

Also note that Learner Success Services offers assignment support with APA, formatting, and grammar. You can connect with a Writing Specialist three different ways: Email, MS Teams, or In-person at the Academic Success Centre (N266). https://bowvalleycollege.ca/student-resources/learner-success-services

If you have any questions or concerns reach out to your instructor for guidance and support. 

 

The Annotated Bibliography

An annotated bibliography contains a list of sources (in alphabetical order), followed by a summary (annotation) of each source, and provides an assessment of its value or relevance. A key purpose of the annotation is for the student to begin interacting with their sources in order to develop their own opinions and insights that will form the basis of their paper. An annotated bibliography provides a concise summary of each source and provides an assessment of its value or relevance. 

An annotation is different from an abstract. It should summarize the main points and include your own statement evaluating the quality of the item and/or relating the item to your own research topic. When evaluating consider is the research peer reviewed, was there any author bias (affiliated with the funder, is there declared funding, are the authors credible, is the data valid and transferable. Are there any strengths or gaps in the research? 

An annotated bibliography includes:

• A proper reference citation (APA): Students are encouraged to refer to BVC’s APA Style, 7th edition webpage (https://bowvalleycollege.libguides.com/apa7) to learn the steps of how to reference sources, as well as to download a pre-formatted, APA 7 word document. 

• A short Summary: Discuss what the source says in your own words and focus on the scholar(s)’s conclusions. DO NOT COPY AND PASTE. 

• Use: Why the source is useful for your argument. This is where the writer will include facts, statistics, quotes or ideas from the source material that they might include in their assignment.

Annotated Bibliography Sample

The following article is available at the BVC Library. Please read the article and look at how it was annotated for support in understanding how to annotate your own scholarly articles.

Step 1: Citation in APA. Note the hanging indent in lines 2-3 and the URL is hyperlinked. These are requirements for APA Citation

Senior, M., & McCullough, K.D. (2021). Implications of clinical shift length on nursing student  learning outcomes. The Journal of Nursing Education, 60(5), 253-258.         https://doi.org/10.3928/01484834-20210420-03

Step 2: Short Summary.

Senior and McCullough found that not only did nursing students prefer to work twelve-hour shifts instead of six-hour shifts in a clinical practice setting, but they also developed better rapports with patients, families, and their clinical instructors, and scored higher in their nursing student learning outcomes.

Step 3: Use.

Furthermore, through quantitative and Likert survey methods, Senior and McCullough (2021) uncovered that 67% of nursing students that participated in twelve-hour shifts improved their scores on the National Council Licensing Examination (NCLEX) compared to 40% of students that worked six-hour shifts.  This article will highlight that for optimal learning, it is better for nursing students to work twelve-hour shifts in a clinical setting. 

Paper Layout should include:

Title page
No abstract needed
Body- which should include a separate paragraph for each annotated article, a paragraph on the selected CLPNA competencies, a paragraph on application to future practice
Conclusion
Reference page
