Task 3 - Week 5 (30 per cent) Annotated Bibliography See Moodle for details & marking guide (rubric)
Aim: You are first asked to show that you can undertake a search of the academic literature by researching and then selecting three (3) articles of evidence based best practice on the topic of your choice i.e. subcutaneous or intramuscular injection. This assessment then requires you to demonstrate your critical assessment skills (using the steps/heading below) in order to evaluate the journal articles you have selected.
Word Count: 300 words per annotated bibliography - 900 words for entire assessment piece (+ or - 10%). In this assessment task you are asked to provide complexity rather than word count. Marking Guide (Rubric): See Moodle - develop your annotated bibliography in conjunction with the marking guide (rubric)
Sources: Three (3) peer reviewed articles are required. Your précis of each article will need to be succinct in relation to critically analysing each article you have chosen i.e. you have 300 words to discuss your article using the steps/headings shown below. Contact a learning skills advisor for assistance with your analysis (if required) or submit to Studiosity (see Moodle) for assistance this course requires you to identify your article in American Psychological Association [APA] referencing style. Each article should be no more than seven (7) years old and of specific relevance to the topic (above). Your article must be from a peer reviewed journal from Australia, UK, America or Japan ONLY e.g. The International Journal of Mental Health Nursing ISSN: XXXXXXXXXXStudents are required to critically analyse their selected articles using the following 5 steps/headings (also found in library help guide):
· citation information
· authors viewpoint

· usefulness or limitations
· evaluative comment

This assessment requires you to develop a critical assessment of the relevant literature surrounding the above topic (Importance of correct site selection for subcutaneous or intramuscular medical administration)and demonstrate academic skills in researching evidence based practice. Students are expected to apply their learning achieved related to annotated bibliographies in the Introduction modules (Weeks 1,2 &3).
For the chosen topic, students are required to critically analyse the current literature using the following five steps:
- citation information,NB: ensure you include a DOI reference link for access to each peer reviewed journal article in your bibliography. If your paper does not have a DOI reference number, DO NOT use that paper
- author’s viewpoint,
- research findings ,
- usefulness or limitations;
- evaluative comment.
In all 3 Bibliography The annotation is both descriptive and evaluative - addressing all 5 steps; and provides an account of authors viewpoint, research findings, usefulness and/or limitations and how the work fits into your selected topic under discussion.
