Module 6: Assignment — Construction of Clinical/Practice Question and Literature Review
The purpose of this assignment is to state your clinical/practice question and explore the literature pertaining to your clinical/practice problem as you described in your Module 3 Discussion Board. According to Moran et al. (2024) when conducting a literature review, the goal is to obtain a representative sample of the literature which describes the concepts related to the phenomenon of interest and the research results applicable to the clinical/practice question and identify what gaps need to be further researched. Your work for this paper may be used to build upon your scholarly project and publishable manuscript—thus it is important that you align your literature review with the topic you have selected (or are considering) for your PICOT question and DNP project.
