Literature Evaluation

In nursing practice, accurate identification and application of research is essential to achieving successful
outcomes. The ability to articulate research data and summarize relevant content supports the student’s ability
to further develop and synthesize the assignments that constitute the components of the capstone project.
The assignment will be used to develop a written implementation plan.
For this assignment, provide a synopsis of the review of the research literature. Using the “Literature
Evaluation Table,” determine the level and strength of the evidence for each of the eight research articles you
have selected. The articles should be current (within the last 5 years) and closely relate to the PICOT question
developed earlier in this course. The articles may include quantitative research, descriptive analyses,
longitudinal studies, or meta-analysis articles. A systematic review may be used to provide background
information for the purpose or problem identified in the proposed capstone project.
While APA style is not required for the body of this assignment, solid academic writing is expected, and in-text
citations and references should be presented using APA documentation guidelines, which can be found in the
APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center.
This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar
with the expectations for successful completion.
You are not required to submit this assignment to LopesWrite.
