Paper details
Purpose: The purpose of this assignment is to guide students in synthesizing knowledge from nursing and
other sciences (e.g., pharmacology and pathophysiology) in order to understand how to provide
comprehensive care to adults with acute and chronic health conditions. Although medication management is a
collaborative team effort among health care providers, nurses have a major role in the medication
administration, clinical assessment and monitoring of patients. This paper hopes to enhance students’ abilities
to exercise clinical reasoning with regard to application of the medication related knowledge, attitudes, skills
and behaviors.
Directions: Students will choose a medication and obtain final approval by their clinical faculty. The student will
then research and write a paper on the medication following the rubric below. The paper should be no more
than 6 pages, and all references need to be in APA format in a reference page at the end of your assignment.
The medication my professor chose for me is Percocet (Acetaminophen-Oxycodone). Please let me know if
you have any questions. Please make it in APA format and follow the rubric as much as you can – my instructor
was very adamant about that. She said we can only use articles that are dated less than 5 years old, and they
must be peer-reviewed journal articles
