Jeanne Blum, RN, is a nurse on a LDRP unit. Recently, the policy and

procedures manual for Jeanne’s unit included the premature rupturing of membranes of a laboring patient

as a practice acceptable for nurses to perform. Jeanne

and some of her coworkers shared their concern over

lunch about this new responsibility.They felt uncomfortable with the possibility of cord prolapse and

other potential medical complications resulting from

this practice. Jeanne gathered data from her state and

many others states and noted that her hospital was

not in compliance with her professional organization

practice standards. Jeanne shared this information with her coworkers. She volunteered to contact the

state board of nursing on their behalf to request a

declaratory statement on the nurse’s role in the initiation of premature rupturing of uterine membranes.

Her state board’s clinical practice committee

reviewed her request for a declaratory statement and

gathered information from other states. A formal

declaratory statement was drafted by the board and

made it available on its Web site. A letter from the

board was sent to Jeanne’s institution, informing it of

the declaratory statement, which stated that the task

nurses were requested to perform was beyond their

scope of practice based on the Nurse Practice Act.

8-Which stage of the policy model does this scenario

represent? ■

You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.

Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.

Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.

The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.
