According to Gale (2020), since the COVID-19 pandemic, several patients, especially the older population has faced major challenges, such as social isolation; hence, it is imperative that nurses develop strategies to avert the injurious and deleterious complications associated with social isolation. “A new graduate nurse must consider establishing effective interventions to identify those individuals at risk” (Sharifi et al., 2019).
Cultural Values and Competence
One of the main barriers to effective patient care delivery is cultural diversity. Lack of cultural awareness may lead to poor patients’ outcomes.

Introduction. This paragraph does not have a title. The title page serves as the title. Scholarly writing includes three to seven sentences in a paragraph. However, three to five short distinct sentences will be sufficient. Paragraphs should not be one page or longer in length. Here is a model to help you. Use the acronym MEAL when writing paragraphs with APA 7th edition citations.
MEAL:
Main idea. Introduce the focus of the paragraph.
Evidence. Support the main idea with source information.
Analysis. Explain and analyze the source information.
Lead out. Conclude the topic, like a conclusion paragraph.
Remember that perfection is not the goal. There will be always room for improvement. Being detail oriented does not equal perfection; however, it enables you to move toward scholarship. Use LopesWrite to stress clear, concise, and research writing. Avoid Plagiarism and Direct Quotes.
1st paragraph is titled Comprehension Strategies (Level 1 heading)
This is a Level 1 heading, and it is centered and bolded, and the initial word and each word of four or more letters is capitalized. The heading is a short descriptor of a section.
2nd paragraph is titled Graphic Organizers (cite a source)
3rd paragraph is titled Independent Practice (cite a source)
4th paragraph is titled Model-Lead Test (cite a source)
5th paragraph is titled Peer Tutoring (cite a source)
6th paragraph is titled Repeated Reading (cite a source)
7th paragraph is titled Instructional Goals
8th paragraph is titled Parent Involvement
9th paragraph is titled Student Concerns
10th paragraph is titled Conclusion
Beginning the conclusion with phrases like "in closing," "in summary" or "in conclusion" is redundant and unnecessary. Scholarly writing includes three to seven sentences in a paragraph. However, three to five short and distinct sentences will be sufficient. Your conclusion does not contain any new information.
References
The word “References”, is centered, in bold, at the top of the page. The reference list should appear at the end of the paper, on a separate page. Review h ...
This document provides an overview of key aspects of the 6th edition of the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (APA). It discusses reasons for learning APA style such as consistency and graduate school preparation. It summarizes major changes in the 6th edition including a more tech-savvy approach. Common grammar mistakes in APA papers are highlighted, such as comma usage. Formatting of references, in-text citations, headings, quotations, and reducing bias in language are also summarized. The document concludes with exercises for students to practice formatting reference entries.
This editorial document provides advice for authors on preparing scientific manuscripts for publication using APA style. It begins with an introduction outlining common mistakes made in manuscripts submitted to journals. The document then provides a numbered checklist of key APA style guidelines and effective scientific writing practices. This includes guidance on manuscript structure, headings, verb tense, quotations, abbreviations, numbers, and responding to reviewer feedback. Specific sections of a manuscript such as the abstract, introduction, method, and discussion are also addressed. The overall aim is to help authors improve their manuscripts and assist editors, reviewers and students.
This document provides a quick reference guide for writing papers in APA style. It summarizes key formatting guidelines such as using 12-point Times New Roman font, double spacing, and 1-inch margins. Headings are described as having five levels to organize paper sections. The guide also summarizes rules for in-text citations, references, abbreviations, numbers, italics, and block quotes. Common errors students make regarding APA style are identified.

Abstract
Abstracts are research tools that can help you readers determine if the scope of your article/essay will help them in their own research. In APA, abstracts are typically 150-250 words in length and provide an evaluative summary of the essay to follow. The personal opinion of the author is strictly prohibited in abstracts. Unlike a body paragraph, the first line of an abstract is not tabbed-in. For many student essays, especially in lower-numbers courses, an abstract will not be required; still, it is good to practice this skill.
Title of Essay
In APA style, the introduction of the essay should begin here, followed by the body paragraphs. APA is typically a more formal style than most students are accustomed to using in a writing course. For the purposes of this course, the level of formality should be based on the assignment. For example: APA asks that students always write in third person (avoiding words such as I, me, we, our(s), you, your(s), etc). Certain rhetorical modes, however, don’t cater well to third person (narrative and reflection writing are two such examples). In these situations, first person (I, me, we, our(s)) may be, and should be employed; second person (you, your(s)) should be avoided in all academic writing unless an essay is specifically designed to relay instructions (there are few assignments that will employ second person).
Like any essay, students should make sure their essays are formatted with one inch margins, with their text exclusively in Times New Roman 12-point font, and students should double space their lines. This document can be downloaded and used as a template wherein students may simply replace names, titles, dates, and so on with their own information.
The final page of this document will demonstrate a References page. If a student uses information from any source, that source must be identified within the text and listed on a References page. These citations should be listed in alphabetical order and, opposite to the way a normal paragraph works, the first line should be flush left and each following line should be tabbed in. Though there is really no substitute for a good APA Style Manual, students can refer to a citation generator such as www.citationmachine.net to ensure proper formatting. Any further questions should be directed to the instructor of the course.

Students at Nova Southeastern University have faced challenges in learning how to
use APA formatting. When discussing the challenges, Tunon (2006) found the following:
Use quotes around an article title or book chapter, but italicize the title of a book,
journal, … or report when used in the body of the paper. Use a shot [sic] title
in the parenthetical citation or complete title if the title is short. NOTE Non-periodical
titles like books and book titles have all the important words capitalized in the text
citations, but these same book titles do not have all the important words capitalized
in the reference list. (p. 342)

47. Paraphrasing
• To avoid plagiarizing, express other
people’s ideas, theories, and research in
your own words.
• You still must give credit to the author(s) by
citing the source using author-date of

• Self-plagiarism.

86. Considerations for Selecting an Editor:
• The university does not assume responsibility
for a student's contractual agreement with a
private editor or typist or for the quality of
the editor's or typist's work.
• Fully communicate with editor about the
services included, turn-around time, and
costs.
• Don’t send your only copy of manuscript to
the editor.
