Below are the assignment details from the university:
Details:
Prepare this assignment as a 1,500-1,750 word paper using the instructor feedback from the Topic 1, 2, and 3 assignments and the guidelines below.
PICOT Statement
Revise the PICOT statement you wrote in the Topic 1 assignment.
The final PICOT statement will provide a framework for your capstone project (the project students must complete during their final course in the RN-BSN program of study).
Research Critiques
In the Topic 2 and Topic 3 assignments you completed a qualitative and quantitative research critique. Use the feedback you received from your instructor on these assignments to finalize the critical analysis of the study by making appropriate revisions.
The completed analysis should connect to your identified practice problem of interest that is the basis for your PICOT statement.
Refer to \”Research Critique Guidelines.\” Questions under each heading should be addressed as a narrative in the structure of a formal paper.
Proposed Evidence-Based Practice Change
Discuss the link between the PICOT statement, the research articles, and the nursing practice problem you identified. Include relevant details and supporting explanation and use that information to propose evidence-based practice changes.
Prepare this assignment according to the APA guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is not required.
This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.

Below are additional instructions and the rubric:
According to our instructor, the final benchmark paper requires all new peer reviewed journal articles to finalize the paper. The articles from assignment for the qualitative and quantitative articles cannot be utilized, so whatever 2 NEW articles you would like to use for this benchmark assignment that supports the same PICOT statement for an increase in nurse to patient ratios is fine with me. Even though the 2 papers for research critique and ethical considerations cannot be used, I will attach the graded papers to identify the areas for instructor critique for review and evidence of revision
(from the rubric).
