The following assignment emphasizes developing proficiency in APA formatting, citation, and referencing styles essential for academic writing in nursing and healthcare disciplines. This assignment consists of two parts: Part A involves rewriting a paragraph to correctly incorporate APA citations for direct quotes and paraphrases. Part B requires accurately formatting a list of references in APA style based on various source types, including journal articles, books, and online resources.

Part A focuses on demonstrating correct in-text citation techniques within a paragraph about pretravel assessments conducted by nurse practitioners. The task is to revise the paragraph to include proper APA in-text citations, ensuring each referenced idea or quote is correctly attributed. For example, when citing a specific page or direct quote, APA style mandates the author's last name, year of publication, and page number in parentheses. When paraphrasing, only the author's last name and year are necessary unless quoting directly.

Part B involves transforming provided source details into correctly formatted APA references. This includes journal articles, books, and online reports. Proper APA referencing requires attention to detail in author naming conventions, publication dates, journal volume and issue numbers, DOIs, retrieval dates for online sources, and correct use of italics and punctuation. The assignment emphasizes accuracy in these formats to foster scholarly integrity and consistency.

Correctly rewriting the paragraph in APA style

The day has come for the patient to see the nurse practitioner prior to his trip abroad. By having a “pretravel assessment at least six weeks before departure,” the provider may assess the timing, duration, and circumstances of travel (Zappas, Whitely, & Carter, 2019, p. 548). When the patient is traveling abroad, it depends on which country or countries the patient is visiting as to what, if any, vaccinations are required. It is necessary for the nurse practitioner to remain current with regards to the latest recommendations from the CDC and WHO for travel advisories (Zappas et al., 2019). Primary care nurse practitioners are uniquely positioned to protect the health and well-being of the patient and the local community (Zappas et al., 2019).
