Paper Instructions:

The first step of the evidence-based practice process is to evaluate a nursing practice environment to identify a nursing problem in the clinical area. When a nursing problem is discovered, the nurse researcher develops a clinical guiding question to address that nursing practice problem.

For this assignment, you will create a clinical guiding question know as a PICOT question. The PICOT question must be relevant to a nursing practice problem. To support your PICOT question, identify six supporting peer-revised research articles, as indicated below. The PICOT question and six peer-reviewed research articles you choose will be utilized for subsequent assignments.

Use the "Literature Evaluation Table" to complete this assignment.

1. Select a nursing practice problem of interest to use as the focus of your research. Start with the patient population and identify a clinical problem or issue that arises from the patient population. In 200–250 words, provide a summary of the clinical issue.
2. Following the PICOT format, write a PICOT question in your selected nursing practice problem area of interest. The PICOT question should be applicable to your proposed capstone project (the project students must complete during their final course in the RN-BSN program of study).
3. The PICOT question will provide a framework for your capstone project.
4. Conduct a literature search to locate six research articles focused on your selected nursing practice problem of interest. This literature search should include three quantitative and three qualitative peer-reviewed research articles to support your nursing practice problem.
Note: To assist in your search, remove the words qualitative and quantitative and include words that narrow or broaden your main topic. For example: Search for diabetes and pediatric and dialysis. To determine what research design was used in the articles the search produced, review the abstract and the methods section of the article. The author will provide a description of data collection using qualitative or quantitative methods. Systematic Reviews, Literature Reviews, and Metanalysis articles are good resources and provide a strong level of evidence but are not considered primary research articles.  Therefore, they should not be included in this assignment.

While APA style is not required for the body of this assignment, solid academic writing is expected, and documentation of sources should be presented using APA formatting guidelines, which can be found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. 

This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.

PICOT is utilized by the health care community to identify and study nursing or medical practice problems. Consequently, PICOT examples that may provide insight into the use of the PICOT process, may not be relevant to nursing practice as they are based on a medical practice problem.

Describe the difference between a nursing practice problem and a medical practice problem. Provide one example of each. Discuss why is it important to ensure your PICOT is based on a nursing practice problem.

APA FORMAT. Write an essay on how can prevention and treatment programs be better implemented in public health regarding the opioid crisis. The article needs to be about health and teach us something we don't already know - there has been so much in the media about Opioids.  Maybe what is being done in other localities or countries; expanding to prescribing trends with other substances (the issues vary by locality).  

Show that you have done the research and make sure you apply it to your topic.  Be clear about facts and where they come from, distinguishing them from your own ideas.  There should be a combination of scholarly articles, reference to things learned in class (when appropriate) and recent findings or media to be sure the information presented is current and relevant.

This is where you pull the information together, offer your personal perspectives or experiences and relate it to your professional goals.  Feel free to challenge the research or present new ideas.  Be clear about your conclusions and what practices or protocols you would like to employ in your work in the field. Though this can be a synthesis or summary of the group’s ideas, it is OK if you do not all agree.  Make sure all perspectives are represented in the presentation and backed by research or best practices.
