Assignment
The purpose of this assignment is to draft an appropriate and effective PICOT question that can be related to your DNP project. Keep in mind your project will continue to evolve and take more specific shape as you move through your program. It is important to begin with a workable PICOT question in mind so that you start off on the right track and can continue to refine your area in subsequent courses. Consider an advanced practice nursing care problem or issue related to your intended DPI Project. Conduct a search in the GCU Library using CINAHL, The Cochrane Library, the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI), OVID, or Sage Research Methods databases to find appropriate empirical resources regarding applicable nursing intervention research.
• Review the "PICOT Decision Pathway" and "PICOT Selection Guidelines" resources.
Directions:
1. Utilizing your feedback you have received on your draft PICOT question from Topic 2 DQ1, create a draft PICOT question specifically related to your project. This PICOT will be revised and in Topic 8 will be submitted for approval by the college.
2. Use the "PICOT Decision Pathway" to determine if your PICOT question is appropriate and can be supported with substantial research.
3. Using the "PICOT Question Template", formulate an evidence-based practice (EBP) question that pertains to your project focus.
4. In addition to your evidence-based practice PICOT question, prepare a brief abstract about your topic.
Format your assignment according to the following formatting requirements:
1. The answer should be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides.
2. The response also includes a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student's name, the course title, and the date. The cover page is not included in the required page length.
3. Also include a reference page. The Citations and references should follow APA format. The reference page is not included in the required page length.
