a)You need to select a minimum of
5
research articles
(peer-reviewed primary sources)
from the literature search that was conducted to justify the PICOT question.
b) Next analyze all articles selected. You need to pay attention to how the research question, purpose, methodology, results, discussion and conclusion of the paper and how these support the research question. Add your knowledge about research to it and how this affects nursing practice. Last, write a short paper (6-9 pages in total). Include both in-text citation and a complete reference list for all the articles you reviewed.
2. Make sure you review the grading rubric. The elements on the rubric will inform your grade for the assignment.
this is going to be based on the PICOT you did (Hypertension)
Literature Review Rubric
1. Literature Review (15%)
Each Student must prepare a literature review in relation to the chosen PICOT that will
serve as the literary basis for the Practice Proposal. This is an opportunity to read as a
scholar and develop competence in analyzing the key elements of a research article and
review outcomes that reflect a heuristic process. The Student should select a minimum of
Five primary research studies from the literature search that was conducted to justify the
PICOT. Next analyze these manuscripts to consider how the purpose, methodology,
results, and discussion support how your research question will add knowledge to the
nursing practice. Last, write a short paper (6-9 pages in total). Include a complete citation
for each manuscript. See rubric to review points that faculty will use to grade the
assignment.
**A 5 point deduction will be taken for each page over the maximum page limit. **
