It could be a clinical or professional topic. You are to complete a literature search and determine if the way you are performing a skill or technique is supported by research. The paper will include the following: • Define what clinical/professional question you choose to research • Search for the best information to answer the question • Evaluate the evidence to determine its strength • Extract the clinical message from the information • Apply that information to ones'' patients/profession The paper will be 3-5 pages (excluding title page, references and appendices), using APA format. It is expected that a minimum of four scholarly references will be cited in the paper. Grading Rubric Scoring Rubric: Evidence Based Practice Paper (40 points) Required Elements Excellent Fair Needs Development Score Identifies what clinical or professional question you choose to research Search for the best information to answer the question Literature review adequate, summarized and minimally 3 scholarly articles Evaluate the evidence to determine its strength Uses consistent objective criteria to evaluate the evidence Extracts the information and applies that information to ones'' patients/ profession The work demonstrates surprising/insightful ability to take ideas / theories / processes / principles further into new territory, broader generalizations, hidden meanings and implications as well – as well as to assess discriminatively the value, credibility and power of these ideas (etc) in order to decide on well-considered choices and opinions. Organization Structure clear and easy to follow. 1. Logically organized. 2. Organization emphasizes central theme. 3. Appropriate audience. 4. Ideas flow in logical sequence. 5. Introduction provides sufficient background. 6. Previews major points. 7. Paragraph transitions maintain flow. 8. Conclusion logical and flows from body of paper. 9. Conclusion reviews major points.
