b. The entire paper should be double-spaced, including the reference list. There should

the page and need to be moved to the top of the next page (APA Manual, 2020, p.
45).
c. The reference list should have appropriate heading (References) and should be
alphabetized by primary author (APA Manual, 2020, p. 303).
d. One-inch margins on all sides (APA Manual, 2020, p. 45).This is a scholarly literature review. You will need resources from peer reviewed and/or
authoritative sources on which to base your project. This may (and should) include
Primary Research Reports, Narrative Reviews, Systematic Reviews, Practice Guidelines,
and information from appropriate web resources. Your review of the literature should
contain approximately 15 – 20 articles and you will need to include both qualitative and
quantitative research. These articles should be primarily from the health science literature
and your approach to the project MUST be pertinent to the role of the professional nurse.
In other words, you cannot, as a BSN student promote a project based on prescribing
medications or inventing a new diet. Literature may come from outside the United
States, but must be relevant to the US population.This is a scholarly literature review. You will need resources from peer reviewed and/or
