The purpose of this assignment is to document sources of research evidence that address a national practice problem, including the level and quality of each source of research evidence. A synthesis of the evidence is conducted to determine the overall strength and quality of the evidence. The development of an evidence table and synthesis are foundational to inform actions and decisions to improve healthcare outcomes. Construction of an evidence table and synthesis supports professional formation of the DNP practice scholar.

Course Outcomes

This assignment enables the student to meet the following course outcomes.
