Week 4 Discussion
Discussion Board Week 4
Shanell McFadden
For this week’s discussion board, I was able to use ProQuest in the Walden Library to search for a peer reviewed articles for the assignment. My area of interest and focus is mental health. ProQuest in the Walden Library is accessible to my peers enrolled in the university and I do recommend it for them but not accessible for my colleagues. I would not be able to recommend using ProQuest to help my professional colleagues gain more information about mental health practice and how it affects the nurse practitioner’s role. Some of the difficulties that I faced when searching ProQuest in the Walden Library database is the use of keywords. Often times I find that when I search general keywords, I have an overwhelming amount of results that not always meet the criteria of what I am looking for. For example, when searching through ProQuest I noticed that the keywords are being highlighted not only in the titles but in some of the literature even if the topic of the article is not necessarily what I am looking for.
With the articles that I am able to find such as, “Meeting The Needs of People with Mental Illness” (Ramirez, 2016), discusses how the expansion of access healthcare for individuals with mental health illnesses came about. It highlights how people with mental health illness is a significant public health issue (Ramirez, 2016). It also discusses the acts that allowed for the expansion and how it impacted the need for more PMHNP’s. Unfortunately, I have learned that the scope of practice for the PMHNP is limited due to regulatory barriers which explains in part the shortage of specialty advance practice nurses (Ramirez, 2016). The PMHNP was just offered exams to certify and allow the receipt of credentials in 1999 per the ANCC (Ramirez, 2016). To say that this is a new area with a desperate need is an understatement.
The shortage of PMHNP and the need for them fueled my interest in continuing my education to assist in providing care for a growing demographic. I have family with mental health illnesses and to watch them not be treated medically appropriate is another driving force that caused me to make the final decision to pursue this degree in advanced nursing practice.

Week 4 Main Discussion Post
This week we are looking closer at scholarly writing also known as academic writing. The goal of this style or category of writing is to convey a logical argument from an objective standpoint (Writing Center, 2020). It avoids emotions, Inflammatory, or biased language. Whether you personally agree or disagree with the idea that you are writing about it must be presented accurately and objectively (Writing Center, 2020). Some tips are to use clear statements with a limited focus, have a logical structure, and be evidenced-based (all statements must be supported by evidence). On the flip side, some common mistakes include wordiness, using vague statements, using informational language, description without analysis, and not properly citing sources (Writing, 2020).
As I started searching for my article this week, I had a few difficulties such as the amount of information that was available through all the databases (there are thousands of articles). Then questions started to arise such as how to pick out the pertinent information and how do I narrow down my findings? This is when I turned to the resources in the library to help guide me in my research. I searched multiple databases to find the article I chose. I also used the filters to help narrow down the selection (went from thousands to just a few). I did use EBSCO host to find the article and feel that this could be useful to my peers as it has so many articles on a vast array of topics.
I chose the article “working with families impacted by the opioid crisis: Education, best practices, and providing hope”. I chose this as I understand that the opioid crisis is a heavy burden today I wanted to look further into not only the person with addiction but the family as well.

SCORE A+ WITH HELP FROM OUR PROFESSIONAL WRITERS –
We will process your orders through multiple stages and checks to ensure that what we are delivering to you, in the end, is something that is precise as you envisioned it. All of our essay writing service products are 100% original, ensuring that there is no plagiarism in them. The sources are well-researched and cited so it is interesting. Our goal is to help as many students as possible with their assignments, i.e. our prices are affordable and services premium.
- Discussion Questions (DQ)
Initial responses to the DQ should address all components of the questions asked, including a minimum of one scholarly source, and be at least 250 words. Successful responses are substantive (i.e., add something new to the discussion, engage others in the discussion, well-developed idea) and include at least one scholarly source. One or two-sentence responses, simple statements of agreement or “good post,” and responses that are off-topic will not count as substantive. Substantive responses should be at least 150 words. I encourage you to incorporate the readings from the week (as applicable) into your responses.
- Weekly Participation
Your initial responses to the mandatory DQ do not count toward participation and are graded separately. In addition to the DQ responses, you must post at least one reply to peers (or me) on three separate days, for a total of three replies. Participation posts do not require a scholarly source/citation (unless you cite someone else’s work). Part of your weekly participation includes viewing the weekly announcement and attesting to watching it in the comments. These announcements are made to ensure you understand everything that is due during the week.
- APA Format and Writing Quality
Familiarize yourself with the APA format and practice using it correctly. It is used for most writing assignments for your degree. Visit the Writing Center in the Student Success Center, under the Resources tab in Loud-cloud for APA paper templates, citation examples, tips, etc. Points will be deducted for poor use of APA format or absence of APA format (if required). Cite all sources of information! When in doubt, cite the source. Paraphrasing also requires a citation. I highly recommend using the APA Publication Manual, 6th edition.
- Use of Direct Quotes
I discourage over-utilization of direct quotes in DQs and assignments at the Master’s level and deduct points accordingly. As Masters’ level students, it is important that you be able to critically analyze and interpret information from journal articles and other resources. Simply restating someone else’s words does not demonstrate an understanding of the content or critical analysis of the content. It is best to paraphrase content and cite your source.
- LopesWrite Policy
For assignments that need to be submitted to Lopes Write, please be sure you have received your report and Similarity Index (SI) percentage BEFORE you do a “final submit” to me. Once you have received your report, please review it. This report will show you grammatical, punctuation, and spelling errors that can easily be fixed. Take the extra few minutes to review instead of getting counted off for these mistakes. Review your similarities. Did you forget to cite something? Did you not paraphrase well enough? Is your paper made up of someone else’s thoughts more than your own? Visit the Writing Center in the Student Success Center, under the Resources tab in Loud-cloud for tips on improving your paper and SI score.
- Late Policy
The university’s policy on late assignments is a 10% penalty PER DAY LATE. This also applies to late DQ replies. Please communicate with me if you anticipate having to submit an assignment late. I am happy to be flexible, with advance notice. We may be able to work out an extension based on extenuating circumstances. If you do not communicate with me before submitting an assignment late, the GCU late policy will be in effect. I do not accept assignments that are two or more weeks late unless we have worked out an extension. As per policy, no assignments are accepted after the last day of class. Any assignment submitted after midnight on the last day of class will not be accepted for grading.
- Communication
Communication is so very important. There are multiple ways to communicate with me: Questions to Instructor Forum: This is a great place to ask course content or assignment questions. If you have a question, there is a good chance one of your peers does as well. This is a public forum for the class. Individual Forum: This is a private forum to ask me questions or send me messages. This will be checked at least once every 24 hours.
