MALPRACTICE APOLOGY ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY ASSIGNMENT

The Annotated Bibliography and the Research Paper are related assignments that require you to research and write a review of the existing literature and then develop the information from your sources into a research paper. Both your research of the literature and the paper will focus on professional malpractice in healthcare, including the role of recognition of error and apology in resolving malpractice claims.

In the Annotated Bibliography, you will identify and discuss at least 8 scholarly sources relevant to the topic, other than the Reading & Study materials and the Bible. At least 2 of the sources must relate to your particular area of practice in healthcare (physician, nurse, allied health professional [be specific], administration, etc.), and at least 2 of the sources must relate to biblical worldview considerations of the topic. You are not required to use all of these sources in your Research Paper, and you may use other sources not reported here. The Annotated Bibliography documents your background on this topic and provides a snapshot of your research and analysis for the paper through Module 5.

Write your Annotated Bibliography in a Word document and include:

· Title Page: APA-formatted title page

· Introduction: Provide a brief overview of the topic and findings of the Annotated Bibliography. Identify your area of practice.

· Sources: List your sources in alphabetical order by lead author. For each source, provide a full citation in current APA format (as it would appear in the reference list of your Research Paper); then, provide a brief description of the content and how this source is relevant to your paper (a brief paragraph is sufficient).

· Analysis: Discuss what you have drawn from reviewing your research so far. Where might the discussion proceed as you write your Research Paper?
