Assignment: Research Critiques And PICOT Statement Draft
Write a 1,500-1,750 word paper using the instructor feedback from the previous course assignments and the guidelines below.
PICOT Question
Revise the PICOT question you wrote in the Topic 1 assignment using the feedback you received from your instructor.
The PICOT question will provide a framework for your capstone project (the project students must complete during their course in the RN-BSN program of study).
Research Critiques
You completed a qualitative and quantitative research critique on two articles for each type of study (4 articles total). Use the feedback you received from your instructor on these assignments to finalize the critical analysis of each study by making appropriate revisions.
