The subjects covered in the questions were covered in your lectures so please refer back to the
materials there for ideas on where to start.
Structure: The structure is not strictly set; you should aim for one that facilitates the
coherent presentation of your argument e.g. you can include an introductory paragraph and
a conclusion while the main body of your essay should discuss evidence in a critical manner.
Addressing the question: read the question carefully and ensure that you cover all the points
asked. Avoid expanding on a specific part and ignoring others, making sure that your overall
argument is well balanced.
Critical evaluation: As above, your argument needs to be evidence based and the outcome
of the evaluation of the relevant body of the literature. Including both supporting and
contradicting evidence and discussing them critically will make your argument stronger.
*Avoid only including evidence that agrees with your overall argument; that would put you
in risk of reaching a conclusion that is not well informed.

What is the nurse’s role in responding to and caring for patients who have been newly diagnosed with type 2 diabetes.
Summative Assignment: Literature review
The nurse’s role in responding to and planning for care, support, and education in lifestyle change for newly diagnosed type 2 diabetic patients.
Word count: 1638
Student Number:1908000
Background
A young patient was admitted into the Emergency Department after suffering a fall. Upon examination, the patient was found to have impaired vision. After having further conversation with the patients expressed symptoms they had been experiencing. These symptoms included feeling exhausted, disturbed sleep due to the frequent urge to pass urine at night, and weight loss without trying to. After listening to the patients’ symptoms and asking further questions. Specifically, it was a Non fasting blood test (HbA1c) that was obtained, as the doctors has a suspicion of diabetes, given the symptoms the patients were experiencing. HbA1 is a blood test used to detect diabetes. This blood test is done by taking a small amount of blood from the vein in the arm. It examines the blood sugar levels throughout the previous two to three months, indicating if the patient receiving the blood test is diabetic or not. After obtaining this blood test which confirmed the patient had type 2 diabetes and ensuring the patient was stable with no substantial injuries, the patient was referred to see a diabetic nurse. Within a few hours, the patient received the findings, which led to the diagnosis of Type 2 diabetes. The patient was then referred to the diabetic team. The team is then provided information on the patient, and the process of educating the patient about diabetes to avoid hospitalisation begins.
Education and prevention in monitoring diabetes

create the initial steps of an evidence based practice project using your topic and the article you found
Write up your findings in APA format and submit them to assignment portal by the due date and time listed in your syllabus. Here’s how to write up your findings:
Start with a 7th edition APA cover page. An example is provided by the instructor. The paper itself (not including cover page and references should be six pages or less)
Paragraph #1: This is your opening paragraph. Start with an introduction statement. What is your PICO question? Describe why was it important (share the dollars, morbidity / mortality, statistics, safety stats you found with citation)? Paragraph #1 does not have a heading. You should put the title of your whole paper in the center in bold font where a heading would go. For the rest of the paragraphs, use the following headings: Summary of Research Article, Major Variables, Strengths and Weaknesses, Practice Guideline, Fourth Resource, Conclusion.
Paragraph #2: What did your nursing quantitative research article add to your knowledge on this topic? State the design. Researchers use all sorts of different terms to describe designs, but you should use one of the broad terms mentioned in our textbook (descriptive, correlational, predictive correlational, experimental, or quasi-experimental). State the sampling method (also using one of the sampling method terms discussed in your textbook), and setting of the study (this should only take one sentence: e.g. “Smith and Johnson conducted a predictive correlational study using a convenience sample from a psychiatric outpatient clinic.”). State the major findings of the study (maximum 3 findings). The findings you share should come from the results or discussion settings and should be relevant to your PICO question and your practice as a nurse.
Paragraph #3. Mention the major research variables in your article. Do not include demographic variables unless they are important to the results of the study. For each major variable, give a conceptual and operational definition (if the authors did not give a conceptual definition you can say “not given”). However, you can always say something about the operational definitions for variables because the authors must discuss the way in which variables are measured. Give the level of measurement for each variable (nominal, ordinal, interval, or ratio).
Paragraph #4: Using the skills you have learned in your critique of a research article, describe two strengths or two weaknesses (or one strength and one weakness) that you found as you read this article. Go back to what you learned in your article critique about sampling methods, measurement methods (ex. questionnaires), and data collection (how did they collect the data to make sure you are being thorough in your assessment. Be specific, so that your instructor, if reading the article, can find them too. Do not re-state the limitations provided by the authors of your study unless they have to do with the study’s sampling, measurement methods, or data collection. Do not discuss the research design or the descriptive or inferential statistics used by the authors as a strength or weakness of the study, as this is not related to with the study’s sampling, measurement methods, or data collection.
Paragraph #5: What is the name and of the clinical practice guideline that you found? Give a weblink and an APA citation for the guideline. Share at least three facts that you found within the guideline that is relevant to the PICO question and your practice as a BSN nurse and cite the guideline appropriately. Make sure the source you cite is actually a clinical practice guideline with advice directed toward healthcare professionals.
Paragraph #6: Identify the fourth resource you found (clinical “how-to” article, a nursing professional practice website, a systematic literature review, or a meta-analysis) that relates to your practice question. Share at least three facts that you found within this source that is relevant to the PICO question and your practice as a nurse, and cite appropriately.
Paragraph #7 (and #8 if needed): re-state your PICO question and briefly summarize what you have learned through your search. Include information from each of your sources, and be sure to cite them all. Then, give specific recommendations for nursing practice. What would you recommend, if anything, as a change in practice for nurses? Why? Remember, this is your closing paragraph(s).
Note to students about writing up your findings:
This is a formal APA paper. Look at the Rubric for more APA information for this paper.
Your paper must be between four and seven pages (double spaced). Use the following headings for paragraphs 2 through 7: Summary of Research Article, Major Variables, Strengths and Weaknesses, Practice Guideline, Fourth Resource, Conclusion. These headings should all be centered.
Don’t use first person language (I, my, we, etc.) and don’t directly address the reader (you need to, etc.).
Turn your paper (as a word document) and article (in pdf format) that you used for paragraphs 2, 3, and 4 in to the assignment submission link in Module Four at the due date and time listed in your syllabus.

Answer ONE of the TWO following questions
You act for Paul Quartermaine who has been arrested in connection with causing grievous bodily harm contrary to section 18 of the Offences Against the Person Act
- You attend the police station and are provided with a summary of the alleged assault set out below:
On the night in question it is alleged that Paul Quartermaine left the “PLC” nightclub around 11.50pm having consumed 6 pints of lager. He was walking to his home when he saw his girlfriend’s ex-boyfriend, Rob Stanforth, coming the other way. Rob Stanforth states that he tried to walk past him and say nothing but that Paul blocked his way and provoked an argument. During the course of the argument it is alleged that Paul pulled a knife from his pocket and stabbed Rob in the stomach before running away. A member of the public who was in the vicinity at the time called the police and ambulance who attended and took Rob to hospital where he had surgery to repair a damaged liver and had 27 stitches; Rob is willing to provide a statement when fit to do so. The member of the public has not made a statement and wishes to remain anonymous at this time. The hospital has confirmed Rob is likely to make a full recovery. Paul was arrested at his home address at 1.30am which was searched. Nothing was found at his home address where he lives alone and he said nothing when arrested. He was taken to Broom Valley Police Station where he was placed in detention pending interview. His clothing was seized including a t-shirt which appeared to have a blood stain on it; the knife in question has not been found. You are aware there is council CCTV in the area but the investigating officer declines to comment upon whether it has been seized and viewed at this stage.
His previous convictions are as follows:
Offence Plea Sentence Date

Question continues on the next page
You speak to Paul in a private consultation and he tells you that he can’t remember much but what he can remember is Rob Stanforth jumping out at him from nowhere and pulling a knife on him; they had a fight and he thinks that Rob must have fallen on his own knife. All he wanted to do was get away and so he ran off – he didn’t realise Rob was injured otherwise he would have called for an ambulance himself. He thinks the blood might be Rob’s; he just didn’t notice it in his panic to get away. He tells you he has a full-time job as a plumber with a local firm and has worked there for 3 years. He lives on his own but his family live nearby. He has a three- year-old daughter from a previous relationship who lives with her mother, also nearby. He has been in trouble in the past but managed to turn his life around and has a stable relationship with his girlfriend Tessa Ullswater; they are due to be married next year. In relation to his previous for failing to surrender he tells you that this was a genuine mistake and he got the date wrong.
Answer EITHER question 1 or question 2
Identify the strengths and weaknesses of the prosecution evidence and explain all of Paul’s options in police interview taking into account the advantages and disadvantage of each option for him, and what your overall advice to him would be.
OR
Despite any advice you give to Paul he is charged under s.18, Offences Against the Person Act 1861. He is remanded in custody pending his first appearance at the magistrates’ court. The prosecution plan to apply to have Paul remanded in custody at his bail hearing. Explain what their likely arguments might be, and how you would counter their arguments, including any conditions that could be offered in order to best secure release on bail.
