Assignment #5 (Group Assignment)

Critique of Research Articles: Part 1 (due week 7)

Each work group is to write a team paper that critiques and evaluates the research regarding the practice question or topic. This paper challenges teams of students to create a model for evidence-based nursing practice. This model will either support (1) current nursing practice or (2) a change in practice. This model for nursing practice is based on:
• identifying a nursing clinical topic (Knowledge-Focused Trigger) or clinical question/problem (Problem-Focused Trigger) (as determined in class Week 1);
• searching the literature for original research evidence (Assignments #3 and #4);
• writing a critique and synthesis of four original research articles.

For Assignment #5, write the first half of the paper. Assignment #5 (the first half of the paper) will be approximately 4 pages
