Basic Outline Structure

I. Introduction- Ethos (Two paragraphs)

a. Paragraph One: Background Information- state the problem, explain/define

relevant terms (Even though you should include research, this should be in

your words. You will summarize and paraphrase, but reference where you

retrieve your information.)

b. Paragraph Two: Counter Arguments- the opposition’s most robust

viewpoints and rationale (include specific details from your research)

II. Body Paragraphs- Logos (Each paragraph, at least 2-3, should offer the

following):

a. Grounds-reasons

b. Backing- supporting evidence

c. Warrants- concluding point (connects grounds to claim)

Essay Title

I. Introduce your topic: Your two introductory paragraphs will initiate your

credibility with your audience. You want to illustrate that you are knowledgeable about

the issue by using specific details. You should attempt to be clear and precise. Avoid

ambiguity, but also avoid using quotes immediately. In addition, your word choice

(diction) should be concise, avoiding any deadwood, utility words, and/or passive voice.

A. Contextual information [First Paragraph]

1. Define key terms and create the parameters for your issue. Ex. Corporal

Punishment is . . . . [This will help you avoid generalizations and problems

later with your topic. This information should be specific. Do not make

broad general statements.] Ex. “Children who experienced corporal

punishment are abusive as adults.”

2. If necessary, within this first paragraph, provide your audience with

background information. What details must they have in order to understand

your topic; however, consider your audience; remember, you are writing to

professionals within the field you are arguing and not your peers.

B. Opposition’s assertions [Second Paragraph]

4

Last Name 4

1. Summarize the oppositions’ claims. Again, be specific. Avoid

making ambiguous assertions such as “The opposition believes ……. ”

Make explicit assertions: “Proponents for abstinence education, such

as Mark Smith, believe . . . .”

In a fluid manner, introduce your thesis. “Finally, say that you

nevertheless believe your thesis because . . . . and begin to present your

evidence” (177).

II. First point supporting your claim

A. Begin with your weakest point

1. Provide grounds that support your assertions.

2. Typically, your weakest point is where you may consider

addressing any concession(s).

B. Consider the logical movement of your argument

1. Inductively: Are you beginning with specific data and then moving

to a conclusion? Even if you begin your argument based on your

research, you should paraphrase or summarize your source. Your

paragraphs should open and close in your words.

2. Deductively: Are you building an assertion based on eliminating

possibilities and coming to a general claim? Meaning, you hope to

provide a major and minor premise in which you illustrate your point

that will ultimately, support your claim.

Ex. Plagiarism is prevalent on college campus. [Major premise]

5

5

29-Sep-19

Such cases oftentimes happen in Liberal Arts classes. [Major premise]

Since I teach composition, it is highly likely that I may have a student

plagiarize in one of my courses. [Conclusion]

III. Second point: This point should help to shift the tone of your paper

A. This point should begin to focus your claim, but avoid making generalizations.

1. If the previous paragraph began inductively, this paragraph

should create a nice shift to deductive reasoning.

2. Provide adequate proof (evidence) to support your reasoning.

Your sources must be explicit, detailed, sufficient, but try to avoid

long quotes. Try summarizing and/or paraphrasing (refer to your

handouts). Remember the point of evidence is to support what you

are attempting to say, not make the argument for you. Quote just

the “good stuff.”

IV. Third point: This should be the strongest reason that supports your claim

A. This point should clarify any questions your readers may have about your topic

and claim.

A. Provide your strongest evidence

B. Reiterate the weakness within your opposition’s perspective

V. The conclusion is your last chance to show your audience why they should care

about this issue. Pathos, in this case, is to show the relevance of this issue, and to

reiterate the “so what” point. Avoid any references or quotes, rhetorical questions, new

information.

For narrative-collaborative and solution-focused therapies, primacy is given to clients’ own meaning-making of their family stories. In other words, change comes not from altering dysfunctional patterns of relating, but re-authoring the ways couples and families make meaning of their relationships. Consider the impact of such techniques if your theoretical orientation is more action-oriented in focus. Conversely, imagine the potential difficulty if narrative-collaborative is your chosen theory, but clients are less inclined to talk about their problems and participate in this type of storytelling.

Express how your understanding of the origin of the     universe impacts your worldview, specifically your view of God, of     humanity, and responsibility to care for the earth.

In this assignment, you will summarize beliefs about the origin of   the universe and life, including what Christians believe, what you   believe, and how people’s beliefs about origins might impact how they live.

After reflecting on chapters 1 and 2 of Genesis, create a 15-slide   presentation covering the following topics, paying particular emphasis   on item three:

  1. Briefly explain the Genesis account of creation (first two     chapters). The point is not to retell all aspects of the story in     detail, but just to make the message of the Bible clear.
  2. Explain and support your interpretation of the origin of the     universe. Here you may want to address evolution, age of the earth,     and whether or not it can be reconciled with the message of the   Bible.
  3. Express how your understanding of the origin of the     universe impacts your worldview, specifically your view of God, of     humanity, and responsibility to care for the earth.

The first slide will be the title slide including your name and   course information. The last slide(s) will be your list of references.   You may use the textbook, the lecture, or other scholarly references.   Cite all sources, including the Bible, as you would in an essay. The   in-text citations should be placed on the actual slides in the   presentation so the audience can see them. Put basic content on the   actual slides and elaborate on all your points in the slide notes.   Also, utilize the attached “Origins Presentation Template”   to complete the assignment.

In an effort to keep the file sizes reasonable, use no more than   four low-resolution images. As in all aspects of this course, show   respect for all other views, with no condescension. Keep your   presentation positive and focused on what you believe, not on what you   do not believe.

Use two to four resources, in addition to the Bible.

While GCU style is not required for the body of this assignment,   solid academic writing is expected, and documentation of sources   should be presented using GCU formatting guidelines, which can be   found in the GCU Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center.

As an advanced practice nurse assisting physicians in the diagnosis and treatment of disorders, it is important to not only understand the impact of disorders on the body, but also the impact of drug treatments on the body. The relationships between drugs and the body can be described by pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics.

CASE STUDY: A friend calls and asks you to prescribe a medication for her. You have this autonomy, but you don’t have your friend’s medical history. You write the prescription anyway. 

 

Write a 2- to 3-page paper that addresses the following:

  • Explain the ethical and legal implications of the scenario you selected on all stakeholders involved, such as the prescriber, pharmacist, patient, and patient’s family.
  • Describe strategies to address disclosure and nondisclosure as identified in the scenario you selected. Be sure to reference laws specific to your state.
  • Explain two strategies that you, as an advanced practice nurse, would use to guide your decision making in this scenario, including whether you would disclose your error. Be sure to justify your explanation. 
  • Explain the process of writing prescriptions, including strategies to minimize medication errors.

Please use the assignment and discussion rubric to help guide you in completing your coursework. I use the course rubrics to grade all coursework.

 

As an advanced practice nurse assisting physicians in the diagnosis and treatment of disorders, it is important to not only understand the impact of disorders on the body, but also the impact of drug treatments on the body. The relationships between drugs and the body can be described by pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics.

Pharmacokinetics describes what the body does to the drug through absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion, whereas pharmacodynamics describes what the drug does to the body.

When selecting drugs and determining dosages for patients, it is essential to consider individual patient factors that might impact the patient’s pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic processes. These patient factors include genetics, gender, ethnicity, age, behavior (i.e., diet, nutrition, smoking, alcohol, illicit drug abuse), and/or pathophysiological changes due to disease.

For this Discussion, you reflect on a case from your past clinical experiences and consider how a patient’s pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic processes may alter his or her response to a drug.

To Prepare
  • Review the Resources for this module and consider the principles of pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics.
  • Reflect on your experiences, observations, and/or clinical practices from the last 5 years and think about how pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic factors altered his or her anticipated response to a drug.
  • Consider factors that might have influenced the patient’s pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic processes, such as genetics (including pharmacogenetics), gender, ethnicity, age, behavior, and/or possible pathophysiological changes due to disease.
  • Think about a personalized plan of care based on these influencing factors and patient history in your case study.
By Day 3 of Week 1

Post a description of the patient case from your experiences, observations, and/or clinical practice from the last 5 years. Then, describe factors that might have influenced pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic processes of the patient you identified. Finally, explain details of the personalized plan of care that you would develop based on influencing factors and patient history in your case. Be specific and provide examples.
