Maternal Infant Concept Paper

Each student will individually write a paper over a relevant maternal-infant nursing topic that is addressed by a Healthy People 2030 objective. Healthy People 2030 objectives are available at concept chosen must be appropriate and relevant to maternal-infant nursing. The purpose of this assignment is three-fold: to thoroughly research a topic of interest relating to maternal-infant nursing; to synthesize the information found; and to then draw inferences about the concept.

This paper is expected to be short, succinct, focused, and developed on the chosen topic. The student can adequately address the criteria in 3-5 pages, excluding the title and reference pages. All papers must be typed and in APA 7 format. I encourage you to meet with a librarian if you need APA guidance or have search questions. Students are strongly encouraged to send papers to the Writing Center prior to submission. References must include a minimum of three (3) journal articles, and you may also include an appropriate medical/nursing dictionary or encyclopedia, the course textbook, the state department of health website.
