Contemporary Nursing Practice Unsatisfactory (0.00%) Explanation of how nursing
practice has changed over time and how this evolution has changed the scope of practice
and the approach to treating the individual is not presented. The differentiated practice
competencies of the ADN and BSN are not compared. A patient care situation illustrating the
difference between ADN and BSN in decision making and approaches to patient care is not
presented. Significance of evidence-based practice to nursing care and how the BSN s its
application is not discussed. A discussion of how nurses today communicate and collaborate
with interdisciplinary teams, and how this s safer and more effective patient outcomes, is
not presented. Paper lacks any discernible overall purpose or organizing claim. Statement of
purpose is not justified by the conclusion. The conclusion does not the claim made.
Argument is incoherent and uses noncredible sources. Surface errors are pervasive enough

distract the reader. Inconsistencies in language choice (register), sentence structure, or
word choice are present. Template is used, but some elements are missing or mistaken; lack
of control with formatting is apparent. Documentation of sources is inconsistent or
