Evidence-Based Practice Project: Addressing a Clinical Challenge 

This assignment requires you to develop a PICOT question addressing a significant clinical challenge in your area of practice. The project should reflect the application of EBP principles throughout the process. You will identify a clinical problem, develop a PICOT question and conduct a literature review.  

Instructions: 

1. Problem Identification and Literature Review: Clearly identify a significant clinical problem within your area of expertise, justifying its selection based on evidence of a practice gap and its potential for improvement through EBP. Conduct a thorough literature review to support your choice and inform the development of your intervention. (Minimum of 5 peer-reviewed sources). 
2. PICOT: Based on the literature review, design a PICOT question to address the chosen problem. Provide rationales for each part of your PICOT question. 
3. Barriers and Theory Application: Identify 2-3 barriers that may exist for implementing your intervention. Using nursing theory, describe how you would overcome those barriers.
