NURSING ASSIGNMENT- APA FORMAT and ZERO PLAGIARISM

Directions:

Based on that clients condition, locate a nursing protocol that would address either the condition or adverse effects of the condition. For example; you choose a client that is recovering from recent abdominal surgery. You decide to look for a protocol that would encourage early ambulation.

2) Research the literature (current peer-reviewed nursing journals) (**Hint: check the references of the protocol) and locate a research article that supports the protocol.

3)  Compose a 500 (two pages) word essay answering the questions below. Include a brief introduction that includes why you chose the protocol and, thus, the research article. Be sure to use APA formatting (title page, body, reference page) and to include your references in APA format.
