The purpose of this assignment is to integrate the research process, starting with a clinical nursing question (PIO or PICO format), database literature search, and the analysis of five (5) related original research studies. It should also include one or more additional articles that support the significance or background of the question. The student should make recommendations based on the strength of the current evidence and describe the nurse’s role in implementing the recommendations. The body of the paper should be at least four (4) full pages plus a cover page and references. It should address the questions in the rubric below and meet all guidelines for a professionally written paper. This paper is to be written in APA 7th edition format.
