The document discusses the Women's Health Initiative and the role of advanced practice nurses in evidence-based practice and research. It addresses how nurses can collaborate as interdisciplinary team members to implement practice changes informed by research findings. As an example, it suggests a practice change involving nursing and at least two other disciplines that could improve healthcare quality. It also provides guidance on evaluating and reporting on healthcare practice guidelines based on evidence-based research.

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

it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument Discussion:
