Paper Title
The first section of the paper is the introduction. A section heading is not required for an introduction but, if you choose to use one, it should be the paper title, exactly as shown on the title page, bolded. Use the introduction to let the reader know exactly what will be discussed in your paper. The body of the paper (not including the title page and reference page) should be 6-7 pages in length.
Definition of Rural
This section of the paper will discuss and define rural. You need to define rural and urban as noted in your book and other course information. Next, you need to describe rural and urban in your own words. Use your life experiences to describe rural and urban. Finally, describe the rural populations located in your area of employment or community in which you live. Describe means to give comprehensive detailed explanations.
Health Topics Impacting Rural Americans
Section II requires you to state, describe, and explain 3 different health topics impacting rural Americans. You can gather your information from the Centers for Disease Control and Preventions’ Rural Health section or you may utilize another reference as long as the reference is peer reviewed, scholarly, or relevant and current (within the past 5 years). Wikipedia, WebMD, social media, and blogs are not appropriate references. After you state, describe, and explain your chosen health topics, relate them to the rural populations located in your area of employment or community in which you live.
Interventions for Rural Patients
Section III requires you to pick one of the identified health topics in section II and discuss three different interventions you could implement for rural patients with this health topic. You must provide clear identification and detailed overview of the intervention and its relation to rural health. You need to include a rationale demonstrating understanding of how the intervention is pertinent to rural nursing.
Example- A topic and objective chosen in Section 2 is Family Planning. An intervention is Teen Pregnancy Prevention. The paper would include clear identification of the intervention, an overview of the intervention, and discussion of how this chosen intervention applies to rural nursing.
Conclusion
Your conclusion section should be a brief summary of what has been presented in your paper. You want to hit all the sections covered and do not include any new material.
