Identify the best type of evidence to use to solve this patient care issue
Name the level of the evidence,
Briefly discuss Why you would use that particular type of Research Evidence.
Name and describe how you would use the other 2 Components essential for Evidence-based Clinical decision making and describe what changes you might institute on this unit.
example of how the answer should look:

I am a PMHNP in a leadership role on an inpatient adult/gero psychiatric unit. In the past four months I have noticed a pattern of elderly female patients falling and injuring themselves in the middle of the night. This is unacceptable. My goal is to improve the falls rate on the unit and to accomplish this I will utilize evidenced based practice (EBP). Evidenced based practice is a problem-solving approach to the delivery of health care that integrates the best evidence from well-designed studies and patient care data, and combines it with patient preferences and values and nurse expertise (Melnyk et al., 2010). Evidenced based practice is aimed at hardwiring current knowledge into common care decisions to improve care processes and patient outcomes and holds great promise for producing the intended health outcome (Stevens, 2013).

The first step in integrating the best evidence and the patient data is to search for the best evidence (Fineout-Overholt et al., 2010). The search for evidence to inform clinical practice is tremendously streamlined when questions are asked in PICOT format. Inquiries in this format take into account the patient population of interest (P), intervention or area of interest (I), comparison intervention or group (C), outcome (O), and time (T). Once articles are selected for review, they must be rapidly appraised to determine which are most relevant, valid, reliable, and applicable to the clinical question. Rapid critical appraisal uses three important questions to evaluate a study’s worth: 1) are the results of the study valid (level of evidence), 2) what are the results and are they important (how well was the study conducted), and 3) will the results help me care for my patients (how useful it is to practice)?

A requirement of this course is to complete a critique of Qualitative Research. The purpose of this paper is to critique one qualitative research article in terms of the design elements and study trustworthiness.

Use the attached template to complete the assignment – please type answers directly in the document under each question(s) that has a point assigned (Please leave grade and total columns blank; instructor will use this area to assess):

For the qualitative critique, please use attached article which is :

Leung, D., Esplen, M. J., Peter, E., Howell, D., Rodin G., & Fitch M. (2012) How haematological cancer nurses experience the threat of patients’ mortality. Journal of Advanced Nursing 68(10), 2175–2184. doi: 10.1111/j.1365-2648.2011.05902.x Click here to download article.

To complete the assignment, follow the pages in your text book in box 5.3 (pp. 112-117). Text book is : Polit, D. F., & Beck, C. T. (2012). Nursing research: Generating and assessing evidence for nursing practice (9th ed.). Philadelphia, PA: Lippincott Williams and Wilkins

Be sure to spend some time addressing strategies to enhance trustworthiness including credibility, dependability, transferability, and confirmability.

Some of the responses will require a one sentence answer, while some may require a longer answer and the need to support your answers with content from the study or from your text. Credit will not be given for one answer replies such as yes or no. Try to be direct and concise and avoid excessive wordiness. Offer your response and support it with a reference when appropriate. If a question does not apply write n/a and describe why i.e. if asked a question re: grounded theory and the content does not apply to a grounded theory you would write: n/a this is a phenomenological study.

When referencing material, either in the form of a direct quote or paraphrasing the content from the article or you text, please follow APA format for in text citations. Include your references in APA format at the end of your critique.

For this assignment, you will use the Leung, et al. study and your Polit and beck text book.

Remember the questions are asking if the researchers addressed the content rather than what you believe was included – the critique is from the perspective of the content presented in the study.

Although APA requires all work to be double-spaced, for this assignment, you may single space your answers.

Please leave a line or two between each question in the assignment as this will prevent crowding and missing content (help you answer each question that has a point assigned) and facilitate grading.
