For your first essay, you will write a narrative about an area of life in which you have developed “competence or knowledge.” This is NOT a “how-to” essay. Instead, it is a chronological series of at least 4 events or memories that trace your relationship with this skill/knowledge over time. Follow the outline and steps below to organize your essay.

Step 1—Preparation: First read the helpful material in “The Writing Process—Part 1” and “Narrative” (see above).
Step 2—Choose Topic: Choose a topic that MATTERS emotionally to you. Possible topics include reading and writing; job or technical skills; sports and hobbies; and life skills. 
Step 3—Prewriting Questions: Use these prewriting questions to help you gather details about your topic.
When were you first introduced to the topic (skill or knowledge)? Were you motivated by a person, an experience, or your own curiosity?
How did you feel about this topic at first? Difficult? Boring? Rewarding? Confusing?
How did your feelings change or grow over time? Why?
What key moments, memories, or scenes do you remember?  What sensory details do you associate with each one? What emotions or conversations to you recall?
How would you describe your relationship with this topic now? What has this topic (or writing about it) taught you about yourself? What can others learn from your experience(s), even it they don’t possess this skill or knowledge?
Step 4—Thesis Statement: Your prewriting details will help you create a thesis statement. Thesis statements consist of a topic and your assertion about that topic. For this class, thesis statements should appear at the end of the introduction, right before the body paragraphs. Here are some examples of “working” thesis statements you can use as a guide for drafting. But don’t forget…As you revise the body paragraphs, you should replace the “working” thesis statement with an updated one that accurately reflects those revisions.
My first year at Meadows Nursing Home helped me grow from a timid rookie to a confident professional.
The way my sister dealt with a family emergency taught me to be prepared for the unexpected.
Managing my anxiety continues to be a struggle, but I am proud of my progress.
Although coach helped me become good soccer player, it was his teaching style that turned me into a respectable young adult.
Step 5—Body Paragraphs: Body paragraphs support—or prove—your thesis statement. Each one includes a topic sentence and details. The topic sentence is like a “mini” thesis statement that appears at the beginning of the paragraph and summarizes its main idea.  (HINT: If you have a strong thesis statement, you can often “borrow” key words/ideas from it to create the topic sentences.) Major details support the topic sentence and give the paragraph its structure; minor details support each major detail and add interest.
Step 6—Rough Draft: When you are ready to begin drafting, open and save the attached MLA Template. Organize your essay according to the outline and be sure to include your introduction and conclusion. Submit your rough draft by the due date. Your essay should be a minimum of 1000 words.
Step 7—Prepare for revising: Get a head start on revising by reading the helpful material in “The Writing Process—Part 2” and “The Writing Process—Part 3” (see June 17-June 23 folder).
Step 8—Check My Grades for feedback: To view my feedback, go to My Grades and click on the name of the assignment. You should see a copy of your assignment with my highlights and comments. (If you do not see your assignment, go back to My Grades and make sure you click on the assignment name—for example, Narrative Assignment Two—not the blue bubble.) To the right, you will see the number of points you earned. 
If you earn full credit: You have the heavy work behind you. Now you can focus mostly on individual paragraphs and sentences.
If you earn less than full credit:  You have some major corrections to make, but that’s what rough drafts are for—to catch major errors before you move on to the final draft.
Step 9—Final Drafts: Final Drafts should show improvements based on my feedback AND what you have learned from the reading assignments. Final Draft grades are based on the points you earn for each of the ten categories listed here:

hello I need a paper on Stone man syndrome I need in in 12 size letter font and APA formate and times new Roman

Instructions:
Scenario: A 59-year-old female presents with complaints of low back pain. She reports having difficulty standing upright and must change position frequently when sitting or lying down. She denies any specific incident that preceded the pain, stating that it just started as stiffness, but it has progressively worsened. When asked about pain radiation, the patient confirms that pain is radiating down to her mid-thighs, bilaterally. The patient reports that her activities are limited by the pain despite the use of acetaminophen, ibuprofen, and ice. A full physical exam is needed to determine the cause of pain and to identify treatment options.
The patient reports activity intolerance as a result of the low back pain. What should you include when performing your initial physical assessment?
What questions should you ask to appropriately gather this patient’s history?
The patient seems surprised when you begin asking questions about her psychosocial status. Why is a psychosocial evaluation important for patients with low back pain?
Concerned that “something serious” is going on, the patient insists on having an x-ray to be certain. To warrant an order for an x-ray (radiograph) for acute low back pain (ALBP), what conditions should exist?
You inform the patient that most ALBP episodes (almost 90%) resolve within 1 to 6 weeks and that pain management will focus on symptom control through pharmacological and nonpharmacological methods. What is your plan of care for this patient? Provide full prescription details if medications are ordered.
What will you include in patient education and instructions?
Please be sure to validate your opinions and ideas with citations and references in APA format.

• American Nurses Association: The American Nurses Association is a professionalorganization that represents nurses and advocates for policies that improve patient care
and safety
This assessment provides an opportunity for you to develop a presentation for a local community organization, which provides an overview of ethical standards and relevant policy issues that affect the coordination of care. Completing this assessment will strengthen your understanding of ethical issues and policies related to the coordination and continuum of care, and will empower you to be a stronger advocate and nursing professional.
Your nurse manager at the community care center is well connected and frequently speaks to a variety of community organizations and groups. She has noticed the good work you are doing in your new care coordination role and respects your speaking and presentation skills. Consequently, she thought that an opportunity to speak publicly about contemporary issues in care coordination would be beneficial for your career and has suggested reaching out to a community organization or support group to gauge their interest in hearing from you, as a care center representative, on a topic of interest to both you and your prospective audience. You have agreed that this is a good idea and have decided to research a community organization or support group that might be interested in learning about ethical and policy issues related to the coordination of care.
For this assessment:
Use the Assessment 02 Supplement: Ethical and Policy Factors in Care Coordination [PDF] Download Assessment 02 Supplement: Ethical and Policy Factors in Care Coordination [PDF] to select the community organization or support group that you plan to address.
Develop a PowerPoint with typed speaker notes (the script for your voice recording) and audio voice-over recording, intended for that audience. Video is not required.
Note: PowerPoint has a feature to type the speaker notes directly into the presentation. You are encouraged to use that feature or you may choose to submit a separate document. See Microsoft Office Software for technical support about the use of PowerPoint, including voice recording and speaker notes.
For this assessment, develop your presentation slides and speaker notes, then record your presentation. You are not required to deliver your presentation to an actual audience.
Presentation Format and Length
You may use PowerPoint (recommended) or other suitable presentation software to create your slides and add your voice over. If you elect to use an application other than PowerPoint, check with your faculty to avoid potential file compatibility issues.
Be sure that your slide deck includes the following slides:
Title slide.
Presentation title.
Your name.
Date.
Course number and title.
References (at the end of your presentation).
Your slide deck should consist of 10–12 slides, not including a title and references slide with typed speaker notes and audio voice over. Your presentation should not exceed 20 minutes.
Create a detailed narrative script for your presentation, approximately 4–5 pages in length.
Supporting Evidence
Cite 3–5 credible sources from peer-reviewed journals or professional industry publications to support your presentation. Include your source citations on a references page appended to your narrative script.
Grading Requirements
The requirements outlined below correspond to the grading criteria in the Ethical and Policy Factors in Care Coordination Scoring Guide, so be sure to address each point. Read the performance-level descriptions for each criterion to see how your work will be assessed.
Explain how governmental policies related to the health and/or safety of the community affect the coordination of care.
Provide examples of a specific policy affecting the organization or group.
Refer to the assessment resources for help in locating relevant policies.
Be sure influential policies include the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPPA).
Identify national, state, and local policy provisions that raise ethical questions or dilemmas for care coordination.
What are the implications and consequences of specific policy provisions?
What evidence do you have to support your conclusions?
Assess the impact of the code of ethics for nurses on the coordination and continuum of care.
Consider the factors that contribute to health, health disparities, and access to services.
Consider the social determinants of health identified in Healthy People 2020 as a framework for your assessment.
Provide evidence to support your conclusions.
Communicate key ethical and policy issues in a presentation affecting the coordination and continuum of care for a selected community organization or support group. Either speaker notes or audio voice-over are included for a proficient score; both speaker notes and the audio voice over are included for a distinguished score.
Present a concise overview.
Support your main points and conclusions with relevant and credible evidence.
As coordinators of care, nurses must be aware of the code of ethics for nurses and health policy issues that affect the coordination of care within the context of the community. To help patients navigate the continuum of care, nurses must be proficient at interpreting and applying the code of ethics for nurses and health policy, specifically, the Affordable Care Act (ACA). Being knowledgeable about ethical and policy issues helps ensure that care coordinators are upholding ethical standards and navigating policy issues that affect patient care.
By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies and scoring guide criteria:
Competency 4: Defend decisions based on the code of ethics for nursing.
Assess the impact of the code of ethics for nurses on the coordination and continuum of care
Competency 5: Explain how health care policies affect patient-centered care.
