This assignment relates to the role of the advanced practice nurse. Students will develop a scholarly paper utilizing the American Psychological Association (APA) 7th edition format.

 

In review, when developing a scholarly APA paper, begin with an introductory paragraph that includes the purpose statement. The body of the paper should include levels of heading that keep the writer focused and on track. For example, this paper would have three level one headings not including the introductory paragraph or conclusion. The paper would then have a conclusion to summarize the main points of the paper. The last page would be the reference page.
