As an advanced practice nurse, you will need to learn where to find appropriate research and resources that are designed for medical personnel and not patients

Throughout this course, you will be tasked with viewing and analyzing various case studies. Some case studies will present you with case information and text entry areas where you can respond to the case study prompts. As you progress through the case study, each of your responses will be stored. At the end of the case study, you will download your responses and submit them to the weekly assignment section in the online classroom.

As an advanced practice nurse, you will need to learn where to find appropriate research and resources that are designed for medical personnel and not patients: for assignments in this course, please do not use external websites or articles designed for patient use. In addition to your text and course materials, remember to use appropriate terminology and support your answers with evidence-based, peer-reviewed sources that have been published within the past 3–5 years.
