Each person will report on 2 sources of evidence (Current within the past 6 years)–>
Include single, primary research studies, clinical guidelines, consensus/position statements, meta-
syntheses, metaanalyses, and literature reviews. Though some authors identify literature reviews as
systematic reviews, the work does
not represent the criteria required for a systematic review with a meta-analysis. For this assignment, only
true systematic
reviews can be used.
Only 2 professional sources as standards and guidelines may be used. For instance the American
Diabetes Association
standards and guidelines.
The evidence should not be a clinical e.g. quality performance article, how to do a procedure, an opinion
article, an
ethical-legal article, a nurse staffing, or a literature integrative review.
Once you have identified the sources of evidence and checked with your group members for overlap, you
will read and
appraise the literature.
Prepare an Evaluation Table to compare the literature (see Melnyk & Fineout-Overhoit, p. 552 for the
template) that includes
the strengths and weaknesses of the literature, and the recommendations for practice based on the quality
and levels of
evidence. The background should be supported with relevant literature (current within the past 6 years and
from professional
literature/websites) to support the description of the problem and its significance to nursing and to patients.
Be sure to complete the learning activity on How to Prepare an Abstract. Abstracts are submitted to
conferences in your
application to present. Once accepted, the abstract is often listed in the conferegea eroceadin ae
