Purpose:
This assignment helps identify areas of clinical interest that you may have in integrating evidence into the population of interest. You will begin to find evidence as it relates to your practice of interest.
Overview:
You will select a clinical question topic related to your clinical practice, and post the topic to Discussion Board 2. You will then write a review of your clinical question and population.
From the chapter readings and discussion, formulate a 3-page scholarly paper in APA format, providing an overview of the terms and function of EPB. An introduction, discussion, and conclusion are expected in the overview on this topic.
Directions:
- Identify a clinical question of interest for you.
- Provide an overview of databases that are available and relevant to your clinical question.
- Write a 3- to 5-page paper that discusses your findings from the database, and the evidence determined.
- Include a minimum of three mid- to high-level evidence-based references.
