See PHIL 3125 (document attached). See example of good annotated bibliography also attached.
Find three scholarly essays published after 2005 that deal with your topic from an ethical perspective. My topic of choice is : Cultural competence and education in psychiatric nursing with indigenous patients.
A scholarly essay is one that has been published in a peer-reviewed academic journal, or as a chapter in a book published by an academic press. Look for articles in journals and databases specifically devoted to medical ethics especially in nursing and mental health. Google Scholar can be a good source for locating articles, but you should not use Wikipedia or any AI-assisted search.
Once you’ve located three appropriate articles, read them and then write a summary of each one. Your summary should explain what each article was about, what ethical issues have been identified, and a judgment about how good, helpful, persuasive, practical, or clear the article was. Your summaries should each be half a page long (single-spaced).
Finally, write a two-page (single-spaced) overview of the project. Begin with a brief descriiption of the topic, and explain why you think it’s ethically important. In addition to the questions in the previous paragraph, you may ask where your articles led you. What do you think the central ethical issues are? What did you learn about ethical challenges that you face in your practice as an RPN, and how will you respond to those challenges? What changes in mental health care, if any, do you recommend? Add any other information that you feel is important.
The document that you submit will contain a title page with your name and student number, the topic you have chosen, the course name and number, the due date, and the instructor’s name. The overview comes next, followed by the individual summaries. Each individual summary should start with the citation for the article in APA format. Leave a space between the citation and the summary. Collect all of the summaries together in alphabetical order by the author’s last name. If you need more information about what your bibliography is supposed to look like, there is an illustration of excellent student work provided for you on the course home page. . Did you notice any approaches to your topic that helped to illustrate the ethical theories we examined in the first part of the course? Are some ethical theories better in helping to resolve the ethical questions you’ve uncovered? Did you notice ethical principles like beneficence, non-maleficence, justice and autonomy playing a role?
