“Bias consists of attitudes, behaviors, and actions that are prejudiced in favor of or
against one person or group compared to another” (National Institutes of Health, n.d.,
para 1). “Implicit bias is a form of bias that occurs automatically and unintentionally,
that nevertheless affects judgments, decisions, and behaviors” (National Institutes of
Health, n.d., para. 2).

NURS 5103: Theoretical Foundations
Discussion Board
Instructions
You will complete three (3) discussions during the semester in which you will synthesize
the content of assigned readings and course material into a collegial discussion with your
peers. Due dates can be found in the Course Calendar.
1. The discussions are located in D2L under Discussions.
2. You should review the grade criteria before making any posts to the discussion
board.
3. You are expected to incorporate content from current readings into your initial
posts and in your comments to peers.
4. Your course faculty will initiate the discussion, usually by asking a series of
questions related to the topic of study.
5. Your initial response to the discussion topic should answer the questions.
Remember to answer the questions!
6. You are expected to comment on at least two (2) peers’ initial posts. Comments to
peers should stimulate discussion. The best way to stimulate discussion is to ask
questions or provide an alternative viewpoint.
7. You must make your initial post before commenting on any of your peers’ posts.
8. You are expected to respond to comments provided by your peers on your initial
post as well as on your comments to your peers’ initial posts; this will encourage
a “back and forth” discussion with your peers.
9. If more than two students provide comments on your initial discussion post, you
will only be responsible for responding to two of them (but you can respond to all
of them if you would like).
10. Create your discussion post in a Word document, then copy and paste the contents
into the body of the discussion. Do not include any attachments!
11. Do not be concerned about spacing and indentations because sometimes this is not
maintained when copying and pasting into the discussion area.
12. References should be cited as appropriate throughout your discussion using APA
format.
13. References should be listed at the end of your discussion rather than on a separate
page. References should be in APA format.
