Module 4 Assignment: Investigating a Critical Practice
Module 4 Assignment: Investigating a Critical Practice Question Through a Literature Review This week you will begin your Module 4 Assignment, which is intended to inform and support your planning for your DNP Project in your program of study. This Assignment has two parts: a literature review in the Walden Library of research to address the critical practice question that you framed in Week 7, and a critical assessment of your search outcomes in which you synthesize the evidence. Both Parts 1 and 2 will be due by Day 7 of Week 10. Plan your time accordingly. To prepare: Analyze your critical practice question from the Week 7 Discussion. Based on feedback from colleagues and your Instructor, revise your question, as necessary, to ensure a clear and relevant focus for your literature search. Review the Learning Resources to support your search. Access the Individual Evidence Summary Tool Template document from the Learning Resources. This is a fillable PDF document that you will complete with at least 10 scholarly articles relevant to your critical practice question. Scan the template to ensure you understand how to enter information for each article you identify. Use the Week 8 Discussion to guide and clarify your search process and to pose any questions related to the template categories, search terms, or others. The Assignment Part 1: Literature Review (10+ scholarly articles) Using the Walden Library as your source, search to select at least 10 scholarly articles that represent current literature (i.e., published within the previous 5 years) with evidence that addresses your critical question and could inform a practice change initiative for quality improvement. Using the Individual Evidence Summary Tool template document, fill in all sections for each article. Part 2: Critical Assessment In a paper with the references, include the following: Do a critical assessment of your search outcomes that synthesizes the evidence from your literature review. Demonstrate clear connections between the practice problem that informs your critical question, your appraisal of evidence that addresses the critical question, and the resulting clarification on the need for a practice change initiative focusing on quality improvement.
