The pathophysiology of hemorrhagic stroke

Criteria for Research Paper: 1. Approved topic: The pathophysiology of Hemorrhagic Stroke.
2. Current relevant references (minimum of 5 journal articles less than 4 years old, you may use
older articles if relevant, but they will not be counted as part of the minimum requirement).
Wikepedia is NOT an acceptable reference source for a scientific paper. If you want to use this
resource for your own benefit, that is fine. However, do not cite it as a source and any
information used from this resource must be backed up with a scientific research article. Length
of body of paper is 6-7 pages, typed, double-spaced APA format: APA Handbook 6th ed.
3. Contents of the Paper: Title Page (no page number) Table of Contents (page number is ‘ii’)
Introduction: Identify the concept (The pathophysiology of hemorrhagic stroke) (This is page
1). Note: In Word, doing a page break will allow you to do separate paging formats) This section
should ‘introduce’ the topic to the reader, explain its significance and draw the reader in to
wanting to know more about this topic. It should also include a very specific statement
describing the focus of the paper.
Body: Review the literature regarding the concept (The pathophysiology of hemorrhagic stroke)
using subheadings to organize your work.
Discussion: This section should summarize the above discussion and integrate the scientific
findings ……i.e. bring it all together.
“Significance to Advanced Practice Nursing”: Relate the significance of the concept (The
pathophysiology of hemorrhagic stroke) to advanced practice nursing. Note: This should be a
separate section labeled.
Bibliography: References cited (see 2. Above)
One page schematic depicting the pathophysiology of hemorrhagic stroke.
Note: This is a Pathophysiological Paper! All papers, regardless of topic, should contain some

Systems as is appropriate for your specific research topic. Papers that do not have a
pathophysiological or physiological focus will not be accepted. This is NOT a clinical paper!
Therefore, papers with a clinical focus are not appropriate.
