Provide a sufficient overview of the theory describing the major concepts and their relationship to each other. Connect the concepts of the phenomenon of interest(sepsis in burn patients) to the theoretical concepts.
Step 3: Propose a relevant, feasible intervention to address concern (sepsis in burn patients). Describe the theory driven intervention and its relevance to the discipline of advanced practice nursing. Reflect on potential limitations in relation to the proposed change or concerns with the theoretical framework chosen.
Step 4: Include a one page outline as an appendix. The outline demonstrates the organizational structure of your paper’s content. apa 7th. Use level headings to help guide reader.
