TOPIC : RESTRICTIVE SCOPE OF PRACTICE FOR FAMILY NURSE PRACTITIONER- a major issue that needs addressing
A white paper is formal, research based, data packed document with a single focus. A white paper is an in-depth report or guide about a specific topic and the problems that surround it. It is meant to educate readers and help them to understand and solve an issue.
An effective white paper outline should include:
• Title Page: Make sure your title tells what you are going to be writing about.
• An Executive Summary: This is essentially a brief (200 words or so) description of what your white paper will be about. Think of it like a short pitch for why someone should read what you’re writing about. This will follow the title page and be on its own page.
• Paper (8-10 pages)
Introduction:
• Include the major point’s that you will touch on in your paper.
• Section sub-headings: As you develop and research your white paper topic you will use sub-headings for the reader to follow your different points as noted in your introduction. (e.g. If your topic is the core problem you’ll solve, consider each sub-heading a sub-point or step toward resolving it.)
Body of the paper may include:
• Background of issue with supporting evidence – valid research, reports etc.
• Build argument logically
• Provide a clear rationale for your position
• Include references of supporting organizations, legislation and regulations
• Provide a minimum of one relevant case that supports argument
• Use primary scholarly sources such as: research studies, authoritative references, interviews, expert opinions, leader statements, facts
