As a master’s-prepared advance practice nurse you will have many opportunities to lead evidence-based change in practice. The deliverable at the end of this program is a completed evidence-based process improvement project prepared for dissemination. The beginning steps of developing an evidence-based practice improvement project include creating a clinical or practice question and searching literature. The purpose of this assessment is to use the clinical or practice question developed in NR520 and conduct a literature search for articles that answer and/or explain the clinical or practice question. Students will conduct a literature search in relevant databases and complete a literature matrix table. Students will also provide a short summary synthesizing their evidence.
