Description of the Assignment
An annotated bibliography is an alphabetical list of information sources (such as journal articles), formatted like a bibliography or a reference list, accompanied by a commentary, or annotation, for each source. The purpose of an annotated bibliography is to learn about a topic through a critical review of literature and encourage a deeper engagement with literature to develop analytical skills.
This assignment presents a method for examining several theories important and useful to the nurse practitioner role.
Preparing the Assignment
1. For this assignment, you will use the five theories/models listed below:
· Health Belief Model
· Transtheoretical Model of Behavioral Change
· Social Cognitive Theory
· Family Systems Theory
· Family Assessment and Intervention Model
2. Search the library for literature. Locate one article related to each selected theory or model.
· Use only scholarly sources as defined for the NP program: A US-based peer-reviewed journal for clinicians (MD/DO/NP/PA) published in the past five years or the latest clinical practice guideline (CPG).
3. Prepare an annotated entry for each source. Begin with the full APA citation of the source, followed by 2-3 paragraphs:
· Summarize the article.
· Describe how the article relates to the chosen theory/model.
· Reflect on how the article could (or could not) be relevant to future Nurse Practitioner practice.
Criteria for Format and Special Instructions
1. The paper should not include a separate title page. No reference page is necessary as it will incorporate the references into the body of the bibliography.
2. A minimum of 5 (five) scholarly references must be used. Be aware that information from .com websites may be incorrect and should be avoided.
3. References are current - within a 5-year time frame unless a valid rationale is provided and the instructor has approved them.

5. Rules of grammar, spelling, word usage and punctuation are followed and consistent with formal, scientific writing.
