Task Rationale


Writing an Annotated Bibliography will help you to find, summarise and organise the relevant research literature to support you in providing evidence based clinical practice. Compiling an annotated bibliography will help you think about the relevance and quality of the research on a topic. Does the research meet the requirements of the case study? Is the information from a reliable and academically respected source?
You will be asked to do similar research to this in the workplace when preparing to conduct new research projects or when developing practice guidelines, procedures and protocols.

Task Description


For this task you need to write a 1500 word essay. In your essay you must summarise, evaluate and critique three (3) sources relevant to the case study.


There are three (3) parts to this essay:
Part 1: Annotated Bibliography (600 words)
Part 2: Justification for your choice of sources (700 words)
Part 3: Recommendations for clinical practice (200 words)


Task Instructions

1.    Read the case study which is in the Assessment 2 folder in the L@G site
2.    Now read the sources in the Reference List and select three (3) sources that you will use for the annotated bibliography section of your essay. Select the sources that you think relate the most to the clinical condition presented in the case study.
3.    (Part 1) Write an annotation for each of the 3 sources (200 words each annotation).  There is a document called 'Examples of Annotations' in the Assessment 2 folder in the L@G site to guide you.
4.    Structure your annotated bibliography like this:
•    alphabetical order according to the author’s name
•    each annotation is a separate paragraph
•    each annotation must begin with the formal citation (APA 6)
•    population,

•    methodology,
•    findings
•    conclusions
•    limitations
5.    (Part 2) Next you need to justify your choice of references based on their:
•    strengths, in relation to the associated case study,

•    quality of the research, and
•    what they add to clinical practice to manage the condition(s) presented in the case study (700 words). Use current literature to support your discussion.

6.    (Part 3) Finally, based on the evidence, you need to make recommendations for clinical practice (200 words). You will refer to the literature for this
