Evidence Table

1. re-write PICO with specific nursing intervention

Current : In hospitalized adult patients, does implementing a multifaceted nursing intervention compared to standard nursing care reduce the incidence of high-risk medication errors?

Professor feed back “Very generalized which is good at the beginning. You may find in your research that there is a specific nursing intervention that is proven to reduce medication errors.” 

2. Attach as a document in WORD to the discussion.  USE THIS DOCUMENT & DO NOT CHANGE THE FORMAT. INDIVIDUAL EVIDENCE TABLE.docx

Download the document and save it as a Word document .doc or .docx.  No PDFs are accepted as they are difficult to comment on. 

Search and find 5 articles that support your PICO question and potential changes to practice.   You may have more but 5 is the minimum.  When choosing your articles look at the evidence levels – you want to have at least 4 of the 5 evidence levels covered in your choice of articles.  For some evidence, it may be difficult to find Level 5 research as this is sometimes done at the unit level.  There is no need for a title page. Just the table and your references for this assignment. There will be a Zoom session set up before this to help you learn how to search the different evidence levels. 

ANYONE with only 3 or fewer levels of evidence will automatically have the document rejected and a grade of 0 on this assignment.

The following are tools to help you evaluate your articles for the evidence table.  Also found in Dang et al., text.
