Module 2 Assignment  

Locate and summarize three individual research articles (do not use systematic research reviews or literature reviews) that support a solution to your problem. The problem you address does not have to be the same problem and solution that you discussed in Assignment 1. All three research articles should be relevant to the same problem and solution you are addressing this week. In the introduction to your paper, provide a brief (250 words or less) summary of your research problem to provide context to your summarized research articles. Note: per APA, the introduction does not have a heading. This paper should be 4-5 pages in length, not including the title and reference page. The remaining sections of the paper should be focused on summarizing each of the three research articles. The summary should include at minimum, the purpose of the study, research question, sample size and sample demographics, if relevant, as well as the results of the study. End your paper with a conclusion section, which a summary of the key points addressed in the overall paper and your recommended solution based on your review of the research articles.

Final Project

Prepare a PowerPoint presentation that discusses the information from the previous 3 papers, and adds a section discussing how this solution can be implemented as a change of practice at your facility. If you had to change your problem after assignment 1, summarize the new problem in the PowerPoint presentation. Remember to follow the rules of PowerPoint – no more than 7 lines on a slide and no more than 7 words on a line. Use bulleted statements, not complete sentences. Use the notes section below each slide for your narrative.
