· The term “ethical dilemma” refers to a situation where choices need to be made, the answers may not be clear, the options are not ideal and there may be active barriers to a reasonable solution

· The topic is objectively defined and described. As nurses we have a duty to our patients to advocate for them. At the same time, we must keep ourselves out of the situation. This section must address the topic with objectivity and facts.

· There are no “I” statements or opinions voiced in this section—there will be a place for that in the Professional Response section.

· At least one professional journal article should be cited to substantiate the facts that are relevant to the overarching topic

· The paper introduction should be submitted in APA style (7th edition). Please familiarize yourself with APA and how to cite references.
