6.     Write a conclusion that summarizes the topic, purpose and how your newfound insight will influence your nursing care.

7.     Use Microsoft Word to develop your paper. Use APA formatting. Refer to the Publication manual of the APA, 6th edition. Review the various APA documents included in this course and the Chamberlain Care Student Success Strategies (CCSSS) that can help you with your writing. Take advantage of the tutoring service, Smarthinking, which is linked from Tutor Source under the Course Home tab.

8.     The length of the paper should be a maximum of 4–5 pages, excluding the title page and the reference page. There should only be one small quote maximum in the paper.  Citations should primarily include summary and restatement.
