wk.5.IDENTIFYSEARCHSTRATEGY.docxIDENTIFY SEARCH STRATEGY
How will you find the necessary evidence for your practice problem? If you are exploring sources outside of “typical” avenues, how do you know where to look?
Understanding where and how to search for evidence is an important first step in exploring sources. A search strategy can benefit your search efforts by providing a necessary framework to begin. As a nurse leader, developing strategy—in this instance a search strategy—can demonstrate your leadership skills as you work to support a practice change that addresses a practice problem.
For this Assignment, consider the importance of developing a search strategy to find the necessary evidence for your practice problem. How might this development of a search strategy connect to your leadership strategies and styles? Consider the importance of search exploration for finding the necessary evidence for your practice problem.
