This Weeks Reading Chapter 89 10assignment 2summarythe Purpose Of This week’s reading: chapter 8, 9, 10 Assignment 2 Summary: The purpose of this assignment is to guide the student in developing and practicing skills for retrieving and reviewing the nursing literature. A review of the literature is a critical first step for discovering the current state of the science and gaps when implementing evidence into practice. Students will identify a nursing practice issue, provide an introduction, problem statement, search and retrieve nursing literature, identify themes, annotate several research articles, identify gaps in the evidence, and discuss implications. The purpose of this assignment is to gradually guide the student in developing the signature assignment. The idea is for the student to take a stepwise approach to completing the signature assignment. The signature assignment will be broken into three steps: STEP 1 - Introduction and Problem Statement; STEP 2 – PICOt, Databases and Search Terms; and STEP 3 – Three Themes and Annotated Bibliographies. The three steps will be combined into the final signature assignment in week 8. This assignment is STEP 1 – Introduction and Problem Statement. Directions: for step 1, the student will use the Introduction and Problem Statement Template and complete the required items: Provide a Topic title that conveys or describes the assignment. Write an Introduction (100 to 150 words) that provides an overview of your topic or project, giving the reader an accurate understanding of what the project will cover and what can be gained from implementing practice changes. Construct a Problem Statement (50 to 100 words) that concisely describes the issues needing attention in a clinical or practice setting. Include references used in the template in APA 6th edition format. Assignment 1 (400 words): Describe how the content and assignments met the course objective(s). Provide examples of actual or potential applications of the week’s course concepts. Reflect on successes or challenges experienced during the week related to the course content.
