PubMed, CINAHL (Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature), and The Joanna<br />
Briggs Institute database.<br />
4. Present the results of the searches in the tables provided in the Evidence-Based Practice<br />
Searchable Clinical Questions Form found in Doc Sharing. Although the worksheet is provided,<br />
you may need to add additional rows to the grid in order to accommodate your search results. Be
sure to include all of your steps in the Notes column.<br />
5. Submit the form to the Dropbox by the due date.<br />
Preparing the paper<br />
1. In Doc Sharing, you will find the <strong>Week</strong> 5 Evidence-Based Practice Searchable Clinical<br />
Questions Form. This is the form to be used to submit the assignment. No other paper is required<br />
for this assignment. Although this form is provided for this assignment, you may need to add<br />
additional rows to the grid to accommodate your search results.<br />
2. Below, you will find an example of how to complete the form as you are doing each search.<br />
3. The Notes section is to be completed in detail as each step of the search is undertaken. Be sure<br />
to include all of the steps you used.<br />
4. An optimal range of 10–20 scholarly articles is to be achieved for each search. This may<br />
require performing a combination of Boolean terms in order to achieve the optimal range. If this<br />
is not possible, a detailed explanation is to be included in the Notes section. Points will be<br />
deducted if you do not perform enough of a search to arrive at the optimal range.<br />
Example: PubMed<br />
Clinical Question: In patients with muscle spasms, is relaxation as good as anti-spasmodic<br />
medication in reducing the incidence of muscle spasms?*<br />
The PICO (T) elements are:<br />
P = patients with muscle spasms<br />
I = anti-spasmodic medication<br />
C= relaxation<br />
O = reducing incidence of muscle spasms
