What NURS 732 Week 2 Exemplar asks for
You write a 4 to 5-page exemplar in current APA that focuses on the patient's role in CQI. The paper must include at least 4 references in addition to the course textbook and the Bible; the page count does not include the title or reference page. It is due in Module/Week 2 with Sollecito and Johnson chapters 4 and 5, alongside IHI Assignment 2. Worth 50 points.
Where it fits in NURS 732
In the published schedule, Exemplar is one of 9 graded written assignments in NURS 732. It follows Week 1 Discussion Board Forum 1 and comes before Week 3 Reflective Exercise.
How NURS 732 Week 2 Exemplar is graded
Liberty grades Exemplar with the rubric attached to the assignment in Canvas, worth 50 points in the published guide. That is about 5% of the course's 1,010 points. Open the rubric before you draft and read across each row: the top column describes what full credit looks like, and the gap between columns tells you what costs points.
Course grades in NURS 732 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 732 Week 2 method, step by step
Turn the instructions into an outline
Start from the assignment instructions in Canvas. Every element the Exemplar instructions name becomes a heading in your outline, in the order given, and the rubric rows tell you how deep each one has to go.
Narrow the topic until it fits the length
Size the topic to the length (4 to 5 pages, excluding title and reference pages). A focused question about one population, policy or problem gives you room to analyze; a broad survey leaves room only to describe.
Collect sources before drafting
Find the sources first: At least 4 references in addition to the course textbook and the Bible. Use the Jerry Falwell Library databases, filter to peer-reviewed, and keep a table of author, year, design and finding so the paper is built from evidence instead of padded with it later.
Write a thesis that the sections prove
Write one sentence that states what the paper argues. Every section after the introduction should advance that sentence; if a paragraph does not, it belongs in another paper.
Draft section by section, analysis first
Fill the outline one heading at a time. In each section, say what the sources show, weigh them, and draw the implication. Graders reward the sentences that interpret, not the ones that report.
Format and check against the rubric
Finish with an APA pass and a rubric pass. Match every in-text citation to a reference, check the headings, and read each rubric row against the section that answers it.
A structure for NURS 732 Week 2 Exemplar
Word targets are planning numbers for about 1,200 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 patient's role and why it matters in CQI. | ~170 words |
| The exemplar | A real or composite case where patients shaped an improvement. | ~410 words |
| Analysis | What the case shows, with research on patient engagement. | ~340 words |
| Biblical perspective | Scripture on dignity and listening to those served. | ~140 words |
| Conclusion | Lessons for DNP-led CQI. | ~140 words |
A topic angle that works
An exemplar is a story that shows a principle. Tell one specific improvement where patients changed the result, such as a patient and family advisory council redesigning discharge instructions, then analyze why their input worked.
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 discharge teaching project on our cardiac unit stalled until patients joined it. Nurses had rewritten the heart failure instructions three times, and readmissions did not move; when two former patients reviewed the sheet, they pointed out that "monitor fluid intake" meant nothing to them without a cup measure.1 The revised sheet used household measures and a daily weight chart, and patient engagement research links exactly this kind of co-design to better self-management.2 Patients were not the subject of the improvement; they were its designers.3
- Tells a specific case.
- Shows what patients saw that staff did not.
