Health & Medical Question Nursing Assignment Help

Introduction
How do you find the best evidence to answer PICO(T) questions? In EBP, it is essential to use your PICO(T) question and its components as the foundation of your search for the most relevant, best evidence to answer the question and address a health care challenge. Peer reviewed journals contain research studies with evidence to: 

Support the need to improve the health care challenge you have identified in the PICO(T) question.

• Substantiate potential interventions that will improve the problem you have identified. Make sure the identified strategies and interventions are supported by the evidence-based literature and other credible sources. The strength of the evidence should be from a credible, peer reviewed source and evaluated for merit.

Use the PICO(T) question to conduct a thorough review of the literature. Likewise, it is crucial to master your skills using health care databases to conduct the search. Also, utilize the Capella library resources.Introduction
This assessment is a continuation of the steps of the EBP process. The purpose of the next step is to identify information available regarding the patient safety issue by obtaining literature to support potential interventions. The acquisition of literature starts with the search.Scenario
As we have discussed previously, in this course we are focusing on a patient safety issue of your choice and working through the six steps of the EBP process. We explored the step of “Ask the clinical question” with the first assessment and now we will look at the second step “Acquire the best evidence.”Keeping with the previous scenario and your role as the Director of Clinical Operations and Nursing Excellence, it is your responsibility to ensure that the best practices and protocols are implanted throughout the medical center. Your primary goals are to focus on problems in health care safety and how to solve them with evidence-based interventions as a quality improvement (EBP/QI) project.Instructions
Conduct research, create a PRISMA diagram, and write a 1-2 page narrative paper to describe the review process, using the following steps:

Review the resource on how to use and create a PRISMA diagram.

Using keywords derived from your PICO(T) question, use the available search engines to locate four EBP articles. 

1. Use filters, such as: items with full text online, peer-reviewed publications, and publications within the last five years.
2. Use library tools, PRISMA, the Research Log spreadsheet, and RefWorks to organize and keep track of your search process. 
3. Be prepared to explain in a brief narrative report the steps in the process that you followed to find your literature sources.

Create a PRISMA diagram to illustrate your research process. 

Complete the PRISMA 2020 flow diagram for new systematic reviews, including searches of databases and registers only.
