You have been asked to teach them more about the U.S. Health Care System (US HSC System).

It may include lists but should not be cut and pasted from websites. All work must be correctly referenced and paraphrased well in APA format.
Submit work on time. Points will be deducted for each day an assignment is late. Assignments submitted more than 3 days late will NOT BE ACCEPTED. Assignments must be submitted in the appropriate designated manner on LU Learn (Blackboard).
Material inadequately referenced, paraphrased, or that sounds too similar to another student’s posting will be consider plagiarism and grounds for disciplinary action in the School of Department of Nursing and Lamar University.
