Week 4 Project Formatting Instructions – REQUIRED
Class,
When
preparing your Week 4 Project, please develop your paper as follows. 
APA is required.
A cover page is required.
An introduction is required.
A conclusion is required.
There are 10 bullet points.
Number and write out each bullet point question. Answer the question thoroughly below the question.  Research your answers.  One or two sentences are not a thorough answer.
References/Citations are required. All references are required to be cited within your answer.
In a Microsoft Word document of 4-5 pages
formatted in APA style, you will develop a process for advocating about
an issue as a nurse, from identifying a problem that needs to be solved
through articulating a process for doing so.
This assignment consists of answering each
of the questions listed below from the “Political Analysis and
Strategies” chapter of your course textbook. Write each question as a
new topic area; then follow with a paragraph or two to answer the
question.
Let us assume that you are a school nurse
in a high school. At a recent school athletic event, a spectator
suffered a cardiac arrest in the stands. A coach of the home team went
into the high school to fetch the automatic emergency defibrillator
(AED) only to find out that it was not readily available. In the
meantime, an emergency squad arrived and resuscitated the spectator. On
Monday morning, you learn of the absence of the AED only to find out
that it had been locked in the custodian’s closet. Reflect on the
following questions outlined in the “Political Analysis and Strategies”
chapter
What is the issue?
Is it my issue, and can I solve it?
Is this the real issue or merely a symptom of a larger one?
Does it need an immediate solution, or can it wait?
Is it likely to go away by itself?
Can I risk ignoring it?
What are the possible solutions? Are there risks to these solutions?
What steps would you need to take in order to solve the issue?
Does anyone else at the school need to be involved in the solution?
Where is the power leverage in the school to reach the preferred solution?
Reaching a solution requires the use of
power vested in the nurse. Review Box 9-1 (Sources of Power) and
determine which type(s) of power the school nurse has in this situation.
State your reasons for your answer.
On a separate references page, cite all sources using APA format. Helpful APA guides and resources are available in the South University Online Library. Below are guides that are located in the library and can be accessed and downloaded via the South University Online Citation Resources: APA Style page. The American Psychological Association website also provides detailed guidance on formatting, citations, and references at APA Style.
