EP4003: Evaluating Research
Evaluating Research
In this assessment, you will summarize research related to the PICO question that you wrote in EP4002 (my PICO question is :Do Nursing home residents with bed alarms have fewer fall incidents compared to residents with no bed alarms? )
You may choose any combination of qualitative, quantitative, systematic review, and/or practice guideline resources for a total of two different resources. Collect what you believe to be the most relevant resources by using an effective combination of search terms, search parameters, and a systematic search process. In order to demonstrate competence, you must collect evidence from reputable sources, including health science databases, databases maintained by nonprofit international organizations for health practitioners, and databases supported by professional specialty organizations in the health field.
After you have selected the two resources related to your PICO question, complete the performance task assessment using the following prompts:
Paper: Write a summary of each article or resource, and describe how each one relates to your PICO question. Identify the level of evidence in each article and describe the relative strengths and applicability of the study to your PICO question by using the AACCN hierarchy of evidence. Synthesize the evidence from both articles into a statement that supports your PICO question. Describe any additional evidence that you think will be necessary to support your PICO question. Finally, describe any gaps in the literature related to the PICO question. (3-4 pages)
Title page, citations, and references are required per APA.
