CAP Draft Instructions
Students submit two drafts of their CAP paper during the term. The student’s clinical instructor reviews the drafts and provides feedback. Each draft earns a maximum of 5 points. Consult the “CAP Instructions and Rubric” document for guidance on content.
1st draft contains:
· Introduction
· Literature review of the topic/issue
The first draft includes proper APA-styled citations for the articles referenced. It does NOT need to include an APA-styled title page; however, this is a requirement for the final paper.
2nd draft contains:
· Literature review of the solution/interventions
· Implementation/intervention
The second draft includes proper APA-styled citations for the articles referenced.

4-5 points: very good/good
Draft follows all instructions; includes the required content contained in the CAP rubric. Writing is cohesive. Draft may have one or two deficiencies in completeness, content, writing mechanics, or APA format.
