Homework
For this homework each student will identify two sources of evidence that could be used to help answer the PICOT question. The sources should be in the form of single, primary quantitative or qualitative research studies, systematic reviews (meta-analyses or meta-syntheses are acceptable), or clinical practice guidelines. The evidence should not be a clinical (quality performance article) or opinion article, or a literature integrative review. Though some authors identify literature reviews as systematic reviews, the work does not represent the criteria required for a systematic review. For this homework, only true systematic reviews can be used.
The sources of the evidence need to be a peer-reviewed journal or a database such as the Cochrane Library and be current within the last five years. Requirements for homework:
a. State the PICOT question, having incorporated instructor feedback. So....this will be a revised PICOT question if appropriate.
b. Identify three sources of evidence from within the last 5 years from FAU Library databases.
c. Submit the three sources of evidence in the form of a PDF file when the homework is submitted (multiple attachments can be uploaded with the homework in Canvas). Check to assure that the file can be opened prior to submitting.
d. Create an evidence table for the sources of evidence (no more than 2 pages - one row/article). A template will be provided.
Format your homework according to the give formatting requirements:
a. The answer must be double spaced, typed, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides.
b. The response also includes a cover page containing the title of the homework, the course title, the student's name, and the date. The cover page is not included in the required page length.
c. Also include a reference page. The references and Citations should follow APA format. The reference page is not included in the required page length.
