Using the two research studies you appraised a few weeks ago and the one randomized
control or quasi-experimental study you identified last week for the selected practice
problem, write one paragraph where you apply the concepts of a synthesis. Using these
three research studies and three non-research evidence sources, write sentences where
you apply the concepts of synthesizing across research and non-research evidence in the
same sentence.
• Option 1: Use a synthesis of research evidence and non-research evidence to write
an introduction to your practice problem. Requirements include that you introduce
the practice problem using a synthesis of research and non-research evidence and
introduce an evidence-based intervention using research evidence (one paragraph).
• Option 2: Use a synthesis of research evidence and non-research evidence to write
an analysis of the practice problem that includes the significance, prevalence,
mortality, and economic ramifications of the problem at the national level (one
paragraph).
Address all bullet points accurately and thoroughly with a substantive, in-depth discussion
in the initial post.
Incorporate three (3) diFerent sources: two (2) of the three (3) should be scholarly.
b. The initial response should include at least one peer-reviewed, scholarly source of
evidence. The other two required literature sources may be included in either the initial
post or the reply post.
A scholarly source is (a) evidence-based, (b) peer-reviewed, and (c) published in the last
five (5) years
