Examine the sources of evidence that contribute to professional nursing practice

CO1 Examine the sources of evidence that contribute to professional nursing practice. (PO 7)

• CO2 Apply research principles to the interpretation of the content of published research studies. (POs 4 and 8)

1. Reflect on your practice, and identify a significant nursing clinical issue or change project that you would like to search for evidence in online sources. Formulate searchable, clinical questions in the PICO(T) format for your nursing clinical issue.
2. Next, review the guidelines for the PICOT Assignment due Week 3. Use your PICOT elements to search for one report of a single, original study that has been published within the last 5 years from the CCN Library that is relevant to your nursing clinical issue.
3. Briefly describe how it is relevant to your nursing clinical issue. Remember to give a complete reference to the study.
