You will ADD 1-2 new pages to the 2-3 page paper you submitted in Week 2. Make all corrections to the Week 2 paper based on my feedback, before you ADD to it. Delete the Week 2 paper conclusion, add the new content, with headings that match the underlined portions of the objectives below, so I can clearly see that you met each objective. That is four new headings you are adding. Use APA format. If there are no headings, I may not be able to find where you addressed each of the four items below. Then add a new conclusion and update the references page with any new references. There should only be one title page, one conclusion and one reference page to the new paper (Week 2 and 3 combined) that you are submitting for Week 3. The entire paper should be written as an APA paper in third person. Do not use: I, me, my, we, our, etc…. New Headings underlined below to ADD: Identify and describe at least two competing needs impacting your selected healthcare issue/stressor. Describe a relevant policy or practice in your organization that may influence your selected healthcare issue/stressor. Critique the policy for ethical considerations, and explain the policy’s strengths and challenges in promoting ethics. Recommend one or more policy or practice changes designed to balance the competing needs of resources, workers, and patients, while addressing any ethical shortcomings of the existing policies. Be specific and provide examples. Use at least 4 current credible references that informs the healthcare issue/stressor and/or the policies, and provide two scholarly resources in support of your policy or practice recommendations. I do not count the title page or the reference pages. Going OVER or UNDER the page count will result in lost points. Pdf files will not be accepted. Papers must be submitted as Word .doc or . docx Please read your Similarity report carefully to avoid improperly citing material. A high similarity to the Week 2 paper is to be expected and is ok, for the first part of the paper. When I review the report, I’ll just focus on the last half of the paper with the new Week 3 content.
