Instructions

Be sure to “narrow” the scope/focus of the paper. A “broad overview” of a topic will lose points. In the introduction of your paper, let the reader know the purpose; why it is of interest. The articles are to be from scholarly journals such as The Association for Death Education and Counseling, The American Psychological Association, The American Society on Aging, and various nursing and medical journals.

Include results of studies published on the issue/topic of the paper such as how many participants, how done, and what was found, learned from the study. At least three journal resources of the six should provide studies and results. Be sure to make the paper flow rather than be a collection of bits and pieces. Summarize your paper well so that it pulls together the information that is enlightening to the reader.

Guidelines:

Papers must be written using the current APA Publication Manual. Papers must be five to six pages double spaced plus a cover page and list of references page.
Papers must include a minimum of six relevant resources/Journal articles, appropriately cited and referenced.
