Week 3 Assignment: Problem/PICOT/Evidence Search (PPE) Worksheet (graded)

Purpose

Collaborative identification and interpretation of practice problems is a requirement of professional practice (AACN, 2008).  Locating and summarizing findings using credible online databases is necessary for evidence-based nursing (AACN, 2008; QSEN, 2020).  This assignment provides a learning activity for students to experience a practice-based scenario and apply a process worksheet designed to assist in the identification of an independent nursing problem or concern, develop a PICOT clinical question, and search for evidence using credible online databases/sources.
