Evidence-Based Practice Project

1137 Evidenced-Based Practice Project

You have already practiced reading evidence-based practice peer-reviewed articles. For this project, you will select 3 research articles (peer-reviewed) based on your ASSIGNED (from 1137 Exemplar Distribution) topic and write an APA-style paper.

Your articles must be no more than 5 years old. You will be given the opportunity to learn library instruction centered around this assignment. So you can use discipline-specific or specialized databases like:

  • PsycArticles
  • Cinahl Ultimate
  • Ovid Nursing
  • MEDLINE plus

The paper must follow APA 7th Edition Student Paper format (NOT the professional paper format), using the question titles as section headers in your paper.   

Length 2-3 pages (not including cover page and reference page).

For papers that exceed the length, a ten-point deduction will be given.

    No Late papers will be accepted and no redo’s.
