What NURS 503 Week 7 PHIP Annotated Bibliography asks for
The second PHIP stage is an annotated bibliography of 8 to 10 sources selected for the Population Health Intervention Final Paper, in current APA format. It is due in Module/Week 7 and worth 75 points.
Where it fits in NURS 503
In the published schedule, PHIP Annotated Bibliography is one of 8 graded written assignments in NURS 503. It follows Week 6 PHIP Outline and comes before Week 8 PHIP Final Paper.
How NURS 503 Week 7 PHIP Annotated Bibliography is graded
Liberty grades PHIP Annotated Bibliography with the rubric attached to the assignment in Canvas, worth 75 points in the published guide. That is about 7% of the course's 1,010 points. The rubric rows are the real instructions. Draft against them, and you will rarely be surprised by the grade.
Course grades in NURS 503 use Liberty's point scale: an A is 940 to 1010 points of the course total. Missing the length or source minimum usually costs points on several rows at once, which is why the checklist below starts with them.
Timing in the published guide: Each course module/week begins on Monday morning at 12:00 a.m. (ET) and ends on Sunday night at 11:59 p.m. (ET). The final module/week ends at 11:59 p.m. (ET) on Friday. Check the due dates in your Canvas section, which govern.
The NURS 503 Week 7 method, step by step
Define the scope of the search
Write down the question the review serves and the limits of the search: years, populations, study types. The scope tells the grader why these sources and not others.
Search systematically
Use the library databases with a fixed set of terms and filters, and collect more than the minimum (8 to 10 sources selected for the final paper).
Organize by theme, not by article
Sort the sources into themes before writing. Each paragraph should discuss a theme across several studies.
Compare and evaluate
Weigh the studies against each other: design, sample, consistency of findings.
Identify the gap
Name the gap the sources leave open and how it connects to your question.
Format the references carefully
Apply current APA to every citation and reference; reviews are where reference errors cluster (8 to 10 annotated sources).
A structure for NURS 503 Week 7 PHIP Annotated Bibliography
Word targets are planning numbers for about 1,300 words of body text, set by the length in the guide; the rubric decides where to spend more.
| Section | What it must do | Target |
|---|---|---|
| Introduction | The question and the scope of the search. | ~160 words |
| Theme one | Studies grouped and compared. | ~340 words |
| Theme two | Studies grouped and compared. | ~340 words |
| Theme three | Studies grouped and compared, or conflicting evidence. | ~230 words |
| Gap | What the literature leaves unanswered. | ~160 words |
| Summary | What the review means for the question. | ~80 words |
A topic angle that works
Write each annotation in three moves: what the source found, how strong it is, and how you will use it in the final paper. The third move is what makes an annotated bibliography useful to the grader and to you.
Model paragraph with notes
An original paragraph written by our desk to show the register that earns full rubric credit. It is study material: learn the moves, then write your own.
The study randomized 1,000 smokers in primary care to opt-out or opt-in referral for cessation treatment and found that the opt-out group was far more likely to use treatment and to be abstinent at six months.1 As a randomized trial in a primary care population, it is strong evidence for the referral design.2 I will use it in the final paper to justify the opt-out design and to set the expected enrollment rate.3
- Summarizes the finding precisely.
- Judges the strength of the evidence by design.
- States how the source will be used, which ties the bibliography to the project.
Mistakes that cost points on NURS 503 Week 7
- Summaries with no evaluation.
- Sources that do not match the intervention.
- Fewer than eight sources.

- Sources: 8 to 10 sources selected for the final paper
- Sources organized by theme, not one per paragraph
- The gap is stated and tied to the question
- Each rubric row read against the section that answers it
