1. Health care costs are on the rise. What is an example of wasted health care dollars in your clinical practice 2. How do you propose improving the utilization of these dollars? Required course books are listed below for this assignment: � Dearholt, S. L., & Dang, D. (2012). Johns Hopkins nursing evidence­based practice: Model and guidelines (2nd Ed.). Indianapolis, IN: Sigma Theta Tau International. � American Nurses Association. (2015). Nursing: Scope and standards of practice (3rd ed.). Silver Spring, MD: Author. � American Psychological Association (APA). (2010). Publication manual of the American Psychological Association (6th Ed.). Washington, DC: Author. PLEASE READ: APA for ESSAY PAPER: When using APA format, follow the author­date method of in­text citation. This means that the author’s last name and the year of publication for the source should appear in the text, for example, (Jones, 1998), and a complete reference should appear in the reference list at the end of the paper. Short quotations: If you are directly quoting from a work, you will need to include the author, year of publication, and the page number for the reference (preceded by “p.”). Introduce the quotation with a signal phrase that includes the author’s last name followed by the date of publication in parentheses. EXAMPLES: � According to Jones (1998), “Students often had difficulty using APA style, especially when it was their first time” (p. 199). � Jones (1998) found “students often had difficulty using APA style” (p. 199); what implications does this have for teachers? Long quotations: Place direct quotations that are 40 words, or longer, in a free­standing block of typewritten lines, and omit quotation marks. Start the quotation on a new line, indented 1/2 inch from the left margin, i.e., in the same place you would begin a new paragraph. Type the entire quotation on the new margin, and indent the first line of any subsequent paragraph within the quotation 1/2 inch from the new margin. Maintain double­spacing throughout. The parenthetical citation should come after the closing punctuation mark. EXAMPLE: Jones’s (1998) study found the following: Students often had difficulty using APA style, especially when it was their first time citing sources. This difficulty could be attributed to the fact that many students failed to purchase a style manual or to ask their teacher for help. (p. 199) Summary or paraphrase: If you are paraphrasing an idea from another work, you only have to make reference to the author and year of publication in your in­text reference, but APA guidelines encourage
