Conclusion
Introduction
The conclusion of your literature review should provide a synthesis of all the research you have done so that your reader understands the state of the field or topic. It is also an opportunity to provide your readers with a sense of closure. This section discusses how to effectively conclude your literature review.
Conclusions generally consist of a restatement of your thesis or main idea and a reminder of your work’s significance. Recall that your introductions typically began at a more general level than your research’s limited topic but that you moved from that general, attention-grabbing information, to a specific research question. Your conclusion generally moves in the reverse direction, beginning with the specific points of your argument, and then transitions back out to the larger topic.
In transitioning to the larger stakes of your project, you might address what further research is necessary for a fuller answer to your research question or opposing viewpoints that you do not otherwise address. However, if you use either of these methods for transitioning in your conclusion to the broader topic your research informs, be sure to do so strategically. What you want to avoid is raising any new topics or new questions that your work does not address, as doing so will make your research seem unfinished.
The conclusion of your literature review must achieve closure, a sense that the project is finished. In literature, closure is often achieved through repetition, and so repeating our thesis statements, in new words of course, helps the reader begin to feel closure. The power of repetition to make us feel something is done is most apparent in short poems. Think of something like “Roses are red, violets are blue. Here is a valentine, because I love you.” The rhyme of blue and you create an aural repetition that confers a sense of closure. Compare the sense of ending you have at the final “you” to the suspended feeling after “valentine.” Another example of repetition creating a sense of closure is in closing potentially infinite lists. Think, for example, of a list like “I hate you because…” This list could include almost any attribute. “I hate you because you are tall, because you made fun of my brother, because you are a phony, etc.” If you append a sentence at the end like, “And that is why I hate you,” our expectation becomes that no more items will follow, even though nothing logically demands that the list closed. Part of what confers closure in this longer list is the break that the return to the big picture enacts. Similarly, with your literature review, and because the conclusion follows the last paragraph of your body in which you describe your research and delve into details, returning to the bigger stakes of your research question will seem like a noticeable change in topic. This, in turn, breaks the expectation for additional body paragraphs.

Select a community organization or group that you feel would be interested in learning about ethical and policy issues that affect the coordination of care. Then, develop and record a 10-12-slide, 20-minute presentation, with audio, intended for that audience. Create a detailed narrative script or speakers notes for your presentation, 4-5 pages in length.
Introduction
As coordinators of care, nurses must be aware of the code of ethics for nurses and health policy issues that affect the coordination of care within the context of the community. To help patients navigate the continuum of care, nurses must be proficient at interpreting and applying the code of ethics for nurses and health policy, specifically, the Affordable Care Act (ACA). Being knowledgeable about ethical and policy issues helps ensure that care coordinators are upholding ethical standards and navigating policy issues that affect patient care.
This assessment provides an opportunity for you to develop a presentation for a local community organization of your choice, which provides an overview of ethical standards and relevant policy issues that affect the coordination of care. Completing this assessment will strengthen your understanding of ethical issues and policies related to the coordination and continuum of care, and will empower you to be a stronger advocate and nursing professional.
It would be an excellent choice to complete the Vila Health: Ethical Decision Making activity prior to developing the presentation. The activity provides a helpful update on the ethical principles that will help with success in this assessment.
Preparation
Your nurse manager at the community care center is well connected and frequently speaks to a variety of community organizations and groups. She has noticed the good work you are doing in your new care coordination role and respects your speaking and presentation skills. Consequently, she thought that an opportunity to speak publicly about contemporary issues in care coordination would be beneficial for your career and has suggested reaching out to a community organization or support group to gauge their interest in hearing from you, as a care center representative, on a topic of interest to both you and your prospective audience.
You have agreed that this is a good idea and have decided to research a community organization or support group that might be interested in learning about ethical and policy issues related to the coordination of care. Your manager has suggested the following community organizations and support groups, but acknowledges that the choice is yours.
Develop a PowerPoint with typed speaker notes (the script for your voice recording) and audio voice-over recording, intended for that audience. Video is not required.
Presentation Format and Length
You may use PowerPoint (recommended) or other suitable presentation software to create your slides and add your voice over. If you elect to use an application other than PowerPoint, check with your faculty to avoid potential file compatibility issues.
Be sure that your slide deck includes the following slides:
Title slide.
Presentation title.
Your name.
Date.
Course number and title.
References (at the end of your presentation).
Your slide deck should consist of 10-12 slides, not including a title and references slide with typed speaker notes and audio voice over. Your presentation should not exceed 20 minutes.
Create a detailed narrative script for your presentation, approximately 4-5 pages in length.
Supporting Evidence
Cite 3-5 credible sources from peer-reviewed journals or professional industry publications to support your presentation. Include your source citations on a references page appended to your narrative script.
Grading Requirements
The requirements outlined below correspond to the grading criteria in the Ethical and Policy Factors in Care Coordination Scoring Guide, so be sure to address each point. Read the performance-level descriptions for each criterion to see how your work will be assessed.
Explain how governmental policies related to the health and/or safety of the community affect the coordination of care.
Communicate key ethical and policy issues in a presentation affecting the coordination and continuum of care for a selected community organization or support group. Either speaker notes or audio voice-over are included for a proficient score; both speaker notes and the audio voice over are included for a distinguished score.

Support your main points and conclusions with relevant and credible evidence.

This is a formal writing assignment; therefore, you must cite all references, and all written assignments must comply with proper English grammatical and spelling rules. No specific citation style is required; however, you must use quotations when appropriate and include enough information to sufficiently identify your source(s). If quoting a reference verbatim, you must also include the page number. Please cite your source after each answer; one reference to the text at the end of the assignment is not sufficient. Failure to cite sources or improper citation of sources will result in a one-point deduction per answer. Our Stafford Library has an excellent guide on Citing Sources to guide you. Formal writing style also requires that, except for bona fide emphasis, your work shall be in prose and not in “bullet” format. Complete, grammatically-correct sentences are expected.There will be deductions from a student’s written assignment if the vast majority of the assignment submission consists of cut-and-paste, verbatim material from sources, even if you cite the source.
