Discussion: Evidence-based practice problemsDiscussion: Evidence-based practice
problemsIn this assignment, you will refer back to the topic you selected for your evidence-
based practice problem from the identified list of topics provided by your course faculty in
week 1 and the three articles selected from your week 2 assignment.For this assignment,
you will interpret the three articles selected from your week 2 assignment. First, you must
complete a matrix table for your three articles (see template provided below). Once you
complete this matrix table, you will write a paper, including the following information:An
introduction to the topic from week 2 and created PICOT question (although this
information may be similar to what you provided in your week 2 assignment, be sure to
paraphrase and not copy/paste directly from that assignment).For each of the three articles
selected, describe the following:Concepts explored in the article/study (This is the “what” of
the study.)Methods used in the article/study (Describe this in detail; it’s “how” of the
study.)Participants in the article/study (This is the “who” of the study.)Instruments/tools in
the student (This is the resources used to collect the data; i.e.; survey, interview, etc. Be sure
to include a discussion of reliability and validity, as well.)Conclusion/summary of the
evidence.Be sure to provide the matrix table at the end of your paper as an appendix; failure
to include this at the end of the paper or at all will result in point deduction.Remember to
your ideas with the articles you found. These articles should be less than five (5) years old.
They should not be from the Web, but from the library databases, and be sure to use a
narrative format.In addition, you must follow APA guidelines, providing a title page,
reference page, appendix, and in-text citations, as well as use level headings to match the
assignment criteria listed above.Please use, at minimum three scholarly references, and
your paper should be 500-700 words, excluding title and reference pages and the matrix
table.ORDER NOW FOR ORIGINAL, PLAGIARISM-FREE PAPERSYou must proofread your
paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker;
failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to
suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will
be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and
make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your
paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected
mistakes.Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or
compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is
better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress
2. it into fewer pages.Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing,
increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any
other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable,
wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.The paper must be neatly formatted,
double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When
submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to
read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument. Discussion: Evidence-based
