Discussion: Effective communication is an essential skillDiscussion: Effective
communication is an essential skillAs a healthcare professional, effective communication is
an essential skill for you to have. For this assignment, you will synthesize scientific research
with relevant health policy, and write a professional editorial piece for public
consumption.Your role: Content contributor for The American Journal of NursingAudience:
Healthcare professionals, nursing and administrative.Format: 3-page paper, editorial style.
Plus, a cover and reference page. A minimum of three scholarly sources should be included.
In-text citations are required. APA style should be followed throughout. Refer to the article
Engaging policy in science writing: Patterns and strategies within Unit 3 Topic 2 for
additional guidance on using the “push” style of writing.Structure: Choose any scientific
research topic, with relevant and reliable scholarly sources available for you to review. If
your background is clinical, your focus may be heavy on the science or clinical elements. If
your background is more administrative, you may choose research which is more closely
related to a social issue (such as emergency contraceptives, vaping use, etc.) Choose a policy
or proposed policy that directly relates to your area of scientific research. Write an editorial
article, approximately 3 pages in length, summarizing the scientific research on your chosen
topic, and aligning it with relevant health policy. Explain the need for increased awareness
around the topic: Who needs to do something about it, When action is needed, What that
action could look like, and Why such action will positively influence the future of
healthcare.ORDER NOW FOR ORIGINAL, PLAGIARISM-FREE PAPERSYou must proofread
your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker;
failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to
suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will
be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and
make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your
paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected
mistakes.Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or
compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is
better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress
it into fewer pages.Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing,
increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any
other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable,
wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.The paper must be neatly formatted,

2. double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When
submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to
read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.
