Assignment Guidelines
Identify a concept (usually one or two words) you are interested in.
Ideally, this concept will be the focus of your potential DNP Project.
Utilize specific scholarly sources, including books or peer-reviewed
articles from scholarly journals. You can use a reference book such as
an encyclopedia, thesaurus, or dictionary, but limit yourself to only
one of each. All references used must be published within the past five
years.
Write a brief paper (three to four pages) in APA (7th edition) format addressing the following items:
Alternative definitions—these must be referenced
Defining attributes
Antecedents
Consequences
Model, borderline, and contrary cases
Empirical referents
These items should be the headings for your paper but
should
be no more than a paragraph or two each. The paper should include a
title page and reference page (not included in total paper length) and
use of appropriate scholarly sources cited throughout.
You will submit the assignment via Turnitin. Turnitin is an online
service that highlights matching text in written work. It indexes
Internet sources, databases of subscription services, and written work
submitted through its website. Assignments sent through Turnitin are
scanned against all of its sources, and a report is generated that
summarizes You may submit your assignment to Turnitin prior to its due date once to
assess your work against Turnitin’s database. You may use the
Originality Report’s results to address any originality concerns in your
work, and then resubmit your assignment for grading. You may only
resubmit once until the assignment’s due date. Any work
that has been submitted at the time the assignment is due will be
considered your final submission, and this will be the submission used
for grading.
