Select a health-related topic applicable
to your practice setting and formulate a clinical question using the PICO
(T) format.
Identify key terms that you will use to
search the literature, based on the PICO (T) elements.
Search for information on your formulated
clinical question in each of these three databases: PubMed, CINAHL (Cumulative Index to Nursing and
Allied Health Literature),
and The Joanna Briggs Institute database.
Present the results of the searches in
the tables provided in the “Evidence-Based Practice Searchable Clinical
Questions Form” found in Course Resources. Place this completed form in
the Dropbox.
From the articles you found during your
database searches, choose ten scholarly peer reviewed articles that would
help provide an answer or provide insight to your clinical research
question and write them in an annotated bibliography format. Submit this
Help write my thesis – APA 6th ed format paper into the Dropbox for a Turnitin Review.
Submit the Searchable Clinical Questions
Form and your annotated bibliography paper to the Dropbox by the due date.
The annotated bibliography is the only part of this assignment that you
need to have the Turnitin similarity report less than 25%.

Preparing the paper
1.
In Course Resources, you will find the ‘Week 5
Evidence-Based Practice Searchable Clinical Questions Form’. This is the form that you can use to document
your search process and results. Below, you will find an example of how to
complete the tables as you are doing each search
2.
The notes section is to be completed in detail
as each step of the search process is performed.
3. An optimal range of 10-15 scholarly articles is to be achieved for
each database search. If this is not
possible, a detailed explanation is to be included in the notes section. Donot
stop too soon or you may miss some valuable article to help answer your
clinical question. You want to be able to identify ten scholarly peer reviewed
articles that would help answer or provide insight to your clinical research
question so you can summarize them in an annotated bibliography written in Help write my thesis – APA
6th ed format. The annotated bibliography will be a separate Word
document in Help write my thesis – APA 6th ed format.

Example:
PubMed
Clinical
Question: In patients with muscle

incidence of muscle spasms?*
The PICO (T) elements are:
P = patients with muscle spasms
I = anti-spasmodic medication
C= relaxation
O = reducing incidence of muscle spasms
T = not applicable in this case
