stressfulness of the relationship between the family and their community. In a
professional setting, understanding these connections can help you clearly
communicate the information to other professionals who will be working with the family.
For this assignment you can use a “real life” family, a family from a book, or a
family from the media. If you are using a real-life family, use pseudonyms to maintain
privacy.Instructions
1. Begin with APA Title Page (see checklist at bottom of these instructions to
ensure proper APA formatting)
2. Next page: Repeat exact title, write a brief description (paragraph form) of the
family of your choice, including• member names and relationships (including length of marriage or partnership
if that applies)• demographics e.g., age, race/ethnicity, gender of each member (optional:
preferred pronouns)• context e.g., city where they live, type of residence
• reference your ecomap (Figure 1)3. Draw the basic family ecomap (see example)
• Title it appropriately (flush left, it should look like below with a different title;see APA manual or instructions at bottom for format)
Figure 1
Title of Figure 1 in Capital Case and Italics• Draw a circle and put family member names inside the circle. Draw basic
relationships among family members including generations and links to
children, partners, parents, siblings (see example). Only include family
members who live together in the household.• Draw additional circles surrounding the family circle and label with
individuals, agencies, groups or other social connections. Be specific.
For example,
o instead of “school” indicate if it is a college, middle school, elementary,etc.
o for extended family, use name and relationships e.g., Mother – Betty.
o for health care place indicate if it is a primary care clinic, hospital, homecare, etc.
o for health care providers indicate if it is a nurse practitioner, home carenurse, physician, social worker, etc.
o instead of “CNA job,” write “hospital” or “home health” – it should be aperson or entity, not a title of a job.
o avoid relationships that are not connections to people (instead of “cancer”or “alcoholism” you would choose oncologist, hospital, rehab, drug dealer,
etc..).o Any other person/agency that supports the family or the family supports
3. Draw relationships (see example)• Draw lines between the family and the surrounding circles using the following
legend to indicate the relationships. (do not use this legend to indicate
relationships among family members inside the circle). When relationships
are to the whole family draw the line to the outside of the circle. When
relationships apply to individual family members draw lines to that person
inside the family circle. (see example). The family ecomap is used by many
different family health professionals and the legend is standardized so do not
make up your own legend (but you can recreate this one for aesthetics).4. Interpret the family ecomap (1-2 pages, double spaced)
• Continue the narrative in APA format, using at least one reputable sourcefrom a library database, answering the following questions:
o Describe 4-5 significant relationships in terms of strength and flow ofenergy and resources using examples.
o Overall, how healthy or unhealthy is this family? Describe your rationale.
o What does this mean for the family (each member and the family as awhole?)
o Do they have the right type and amount of support from the community?Describe your rationale.
o Do they contribute to the community? Describe your rationale.
o Are there any services they could benefit from that they do not currentlyhave? What are they?
o Cite your reputable source (should be from a library database such asCINAHL or PubMed, not internet webpage)
▪ Example: Jayden works out five days a week because according toPosadzki et al. (2020, p.45), “physical activity and exercise reduces
mortality rates and improves quality of life.” Then put this reference on
the last page in proper APA format.o End with a conclusion sentence within the last paragraph or a conclusion
paragraph5. Provide a reference page in proper APA format
• Read your paper aloud (or have someone else review) to ensure it makessense. If it doesn’t make sense to you, it will not make sense to me.

The subject should precede the verb. Instead of: There are patients in the hospital – state: Patients are in the hospital. (APA 2.13 p. 41). It’s permitted, but sounds more scholarly when the subject precedes the verb.6. Avoid contractions (instead ofcan’t, usecannot) unless using direct quotes.7. Use precise scholarly language (instead ofto write up, statereport) unless using direct quotes.8. Avoid saying, “as stated previously” or “as previously mentioned.” It detracts from your argument. If you’re truly repeating yourself, find another way to state your point. Avoid saying “etc.” – it weakens your sentence. When you use the word “include” it already alerts the reader that you haven’t offered a complete list, so there’s no need for “etc.”9. Read the paper out loud. Does it make sense?

different family health professionals and the legend is standardized so do not
make up your own legend (but you can recreate this one for aesthetics).4. Interpret the family ecomap (1-2 pages, double spaced)
• Continue the narrative in APA format, using at least one reputable sourcefrom a library database, answering the following questions:
o Describe 4-5 significant relationships in terms of strength and flow ofenergy and resources using examples.
o Overall, how healthy or unhealthy is this family? Describe your rationale.
o What does this mean for the family (each member and the family as awhole?)
o Do they have the right type and amount of support from the community?Describe your rationale.
o Do they contribute to the community? Describe your rationale.
o Are there any services they could benefit from that they do not currentlyhave? What are they?
o Cite your reputable source (should be from a library database such asCINAHL or PubMed, not internet webpage)
▪ Example: Jayden works out five days a week because according toPosadzki et al. (2020, p.45), “physical activity and exercise reduces
mortality rates and improves quality of life.” Then put this reference on
the last page in proper APA format.o End with a conclusion sentence within the last paragraph or a conclusion
paragraph5. Provide a reference page in proper APA format
• Read your paper aloud (or have someone else review) to ensure it makessense. If it doesn’t make sense to you, it will not make sense to me.

Any fact that is not common knowledgeMUSThave a citation/reference. Your own analysis/synthesis of the information does not require a reference.2. Was there appropriate and minor use of direct quotes and paraphrasing? Only use direct quotations if the wording is so powerful, paraphrasing will dilute the impact.3. When using direct quotes or paraphrasing, were the in-text citations completed correctly?4.DIRECT QUOTES NEED PAGE NUMBERS OR PARAGRAPH NUMBERS. Paraphrasing does not need p. or para.· For items with page numbers such as journal, book (Author, year, p. X) or (Author, year, pp. 12-13)· Another option: “According to Smith and Roland (2023, p. 12), “The patient will ….” or (Smith & Roland, 2023, p. 12).· If more than two authors: “According to Smith et al., (2023, p. 12)…” or “…(Smith et al., 2023, p. 12).· For items with paragraphs such as webpages (Author, year, para. X) or (Author, year, paras. 12-13)· Another option: According to Smith and Roland (2023, para. 12), “insert copied text here”· If more than two authors: “According to Smith et al., (2023, para. 12)…” or “…(Smith et al., 2023, para. 12)· Repeating the same citation throughout a paragraph: (p. 186 and p. 192 or look up overcitation). If it’s all from the same source, see p. 186 and p. 192 for how to repeat the same citation throughout a paragraph.··https://owl.purdue.edu/owl/research_and_citation/apa_style/apa_formatting_and_style_guide/in_text_citations_the_basics.htmlTenseWas the paper a synthesis of the material you are representing? If so, is past-tense signal phrasing utilized? – Jones (1998) found… OR According to Jones (1998),https://owl.purdue.edu/owl/research_and_citation/apa_style/apa_formatting_and_style_guide/in_text_citations_the_basics.htmlNumbersSee APA pp. 119-120 on when numbers are written as numerals vs. expressed in words (ex: when to usethreevs.3)Some common examples:· Jane is 59 years old (noun)· Jane is a 59-year-old female (adjective so use hyphens)Conciseness, Unbiased and Active Voice1. Is there “fluff” or “excessive jargon”? The paper should contain just the facts and synthesis. Opinions must be supported by facts.2. Wordiness or redundancy: Avoid using more words than necessary and avoid using words with the same meaning. For example, instead of “previously found,” omitpreviously; See 2.5 Wordiness and Redundancy (APA p. 37).3. Is the paper bias free and negative descriptions avoided OR justified as a fact. For instance, instead of saying The neighbors are annoying, it should state, The client finds the neighbors “annoying.”4. Is the paper written in third person?AvoidI, we, you, me (unless instructor gives permission)5. Is the paper in active voice?Avoidthe word “there” as the sentence subject. The subject should precede the verb. Instead of: There are patients in the hospital – state: Patients are in the hospital. (APA 2.13 p. 41). It’s permitted, but sounds more scholarly when the subject precedes the verb.6. Avoid contractions (instead ofcan’t, usecannot) unless using direct quotes.7. Use precise scholarly language (instead ofto write up, statereport) unless using direct quotes.8. Avoid saying, “as stated previously” or “as previously mentioned.” It detracts from your argument. If you’re truly repeating yourself, find another way to state your point. Avoid saying “etc.” – it weakens your sentence. When you use the word “include” it already alerts the reader that you haven’t offered a complete list, so there’s no need for “etc.”9. Read the paper out loud. Does it make sense? If not, you might have poor sentence structure or run-on sentences.10.https://www.plainlanguage.gov/guidelines/concise/Reference Page1. At the top of the page is Reference (if singular, References if plural) should beboldedand centered on the first line of a new page2. Is each reference formatted correctly? Basic rules, author/authors, articles in periodicals, books, other print sources, electronic sources, audiovisual media, other non-print sources, and legal references are found on the APA. Do NOT use citation generators without tweaking the details. They are never correct.3. The back cover of the APA book is a quick reference to commonly used references.4. If using the textbook and it has chapters written by other authors, see “chapter in an edited book” to know how to properly format the reference.5. The page should remain double spaced.6. First line is flush left, subsequent lines of the reference have a 0.5” hanging indent (highlight > paragraph settings > special > hanging indent)7. If no author, use the agency/organization that submitted the work (such as American Heart Association, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention). See APA book page 265 for government agencies.8. No need to list the website name if it’s the same as the author. (APA p. 288)9. If %20 is seen in the URL, it is not the most concise URL. Find the most concise (usually can delete where the “hogwash” starts. Ex:https://www.cbpp.org/research/health/medicaid-works-for-seniors#:~:text=Medicaid%20covers%20nursing%20home%20care,disabilities%20stay%20independent%20and%20healthy.(delete the part that is crossed out and you’ll still get the same webpage.10. URLs should be hyperlinked and work for others. If the webpage has EBSCO in it, likely others cannot access it.11. The rest of the formatting is as follows (see back of APA cover for most commonly used references):https://owl.purdue.edu/owl/research_and_citation/apa_style/apa_formatting_and_style_guide/reference_list_basic_rules.htmlCommon mistakes are with websites and journals. Be sure to note the difference of article titles, when to use uppercase letters, when to use italics, journal titles (italics and title case – not to be confused with article titles) and website names.Appendices1. Are all appendices their own individual page and formatted per APA guidelines?2. Are the appendices directly referenced in-text? All appendices should be referenced in-text by their specific title (e.g. “see Appendix B”).https://owl.purdue.edu/owl/research_and_citation/apa_style/apa_formatting_and_style_guide/footnotes_appendices.htmlStatisticsAre numbers and statistics presented in the appropriate style?https://owl.purdue.edu/owl/research_and_citation/apa_style/apa_formatting_and_style_guide/apa_numbers_statistics.html*Please refer to the APA Manual, Purdue Owl, and other linked Canvas resources for specifics related to format and writing.
