Please note that the following order contains 7 separate papers that are all dependent on
one another.
Each of the following 7 tasks must be completed independently with each paper meeting
defined length and having their own title page and reference page.
I’ve submitted all 7 tasks to be completed as one order so the finished papers would flow
naturally and the style and themes would be interwoven.
Hope the following helps clarify the requirements of this order.

Write an essay in which you:
A. Describe the process you used to select your research topic in your problem, search, and
evaluation task.
1. Describe what motivated you to select your topic. (Interest in community health nursing:
see attached papers for reference)
2. Describe what barriers you think you might encounter with your research topic.
3. Describe how your research topic will benefit your field.
B. Include all in-text citations and references in APA format.

errors.
Style: The writing style is characterized by highly varied sentence structure, vivid
vocabulary, and accurate word choice.
A1. Selection of Topic
The candidate provides a precise description of what motivations there were to select the
research topic.
A2. Barriers
The candidate provides a precise description of barriers that may be encountered with the
research topic.
A3. Benefit to the Field
The candidate provides a precise description of how the research topic will benefit the
field.
B. Sources: The candidate provides appropriate in-text citations and/or references with no
readily detectable deviations from APA style.
Task 2. Literature Review Reflection (508.2.1-01, 02, 2.3-05)
Describe the purpose of conducting a literature review.
Discuss how conducting a literature review relates to other parts of the research plan.
Define how conducting a literature review can clarify the relationship between research and
practice.
Explain how resource availability and selection can limit the scope of a research topic.
Introduction:
After you have completed the full literature review task (RLT1 508.2.5-03-06, 08, 09), you
are prepared to write a reflection of your literature review experience.
Take a moment to think about the process of conducting a literature review, selecting
resources, and how the review will affect your next step in your research plan.
Task 2: 5 pages in length
Write an essay that reflects on your literature review process.
Address the following elements in the essay:
A. Describe the process you went through to select your research topic in your problem,
search, and evaluation RLT Task 1. (see attached documentation)
B. Discuss the purpose of conducting a literature review of your chosen research topic.
C. Discuss at least two specific examples of how the literature review affected different
components of your research proposal.
D. Explain how resource availability and selection limited the scope of your research
topic.
E. Discuss how performing a literature review affects your practice in a professional
setting.
F. Include all in-text citations and references in APA format.

The graduate understands the components of qualitative research.
Action Research Paradigms – Action Research Paradigms
The graduate understands the components of action research.
Types of Variables and Data – Types of Variables and Data
The graduate understands and uses different types of variables and data that can be
collected during a research study.
Data Collection
The graduate evaluates the relative merits of instruments for measuring specific
motivation, performance, and learning style variables.
Research Proposal – The graduate completes a research proposal.
Objectives:
Outline a research scenario that would be suitable for quantitative research.
Outline a research scenario that would be suitable for qualitative research.
Outline a research scenario that would be suitable for action research.
Describe how action research benefits the field of education.
Compare and contrast action research methodology with other forms of research.

Introduction:
There are several paradigms of educational research.
Each of these paradigms will help direct your research study, including how your subjects
are selected, what your role as a researcher is, and how you collect and analyze different
types of data.
For this task you will be describing three different research scenarios—one each for a
quantitative, qualitative, and action research paradigm—that are appropriate for your
professional setting.
Task 3:
Write an original essay in which you:
A. Describe your professional setting. (Community health clinic and Progressive Care Unit
in hospital setting)
B. Describe a research scenario appropriate for a quantitative research paradigm (length 4
pages).
Within that scenario, include the following elements:
1. State an appropriate research question and/or hypothesis.
2. Define the role of the researcher.
3. Describe the target audience and the role of the participants.
4. Discuss possible variations of groupings in your quantitative research scenario.
5. Discuss methods (such as survey, test, observation) and corresponding instruments (such
as interviews or questionnaires, multiple-choice objective tests, and observation
checklists) to be used for data collection.
6. Describe the types of data to be collected that would influence your choice of data
analysis.
7. Describe types of data analysis you would use.
8. Explain how quantitative research benefits your field.
