Week 8 Nine Tenets Essay
The first section of the paper is called the introduction, yet the paper does not have a
heading that is labeled introduction. In this section, you would start with an introductory
paragraph. A well-written essay is similar to a trip. The introduction section is the planning stage
where you determine the place, time, and method of travel. You might also include the order of
the trip and stages of travel. Here is where you will introduce what your paper will be about. A
well-written introduction tries to get the reader to finish the rest of the paper. Use this to
complete your tenets essay. Write this in third person. Explain what your paper is going to
include. You will select two from the list of nine tenets (provisions) from the ANA Code of
Ethics for Nurses with Interpretive Statements. The only direct quotation that should be in this
paper is when quoting one of the nine provisions.
