WEEKLY RESOURCES
TO PREPARE Review the Literature Review Assignment resources in the Week 8 learning resources. Review Appendix D appraisal Tool Selection Algorithm found in Bissett et al., (2025) pp. 224-227. This tool will assist you in the decision making process of selecting pre-appraised, single study, and/or anecdotal evidence. Note: Be sure to review Appendices B, E1, E2, E3, G2, and H in the Bissett et al., (2025) text. These appendices are also found in the Week 8 learning resources. You will be required to complete and submit Appendices B, G2, and H for this Assignment. Select an organization with which you are familiar and a practice or organization issue which needs addressing. Note: You may reuse organizations and/or issues that you selected earlier in this course or select new ones. Consider possible practice questions to address the issue you selected. Ask yourself: Why is it a problem? What has been done about it? What is the gap in practice? Select one practice question to develop using Appendix B. Using the Walden Library, search the evidence to identify 15 or more recent peer-reviewed articles (within the past 5 years) related to your practice question. Note: Use Appendices E1, E2, E3 to help you search, but you do not need to submit these for grading. Using Appendix H, grade the evidence and select the 10 articles with the strongest evidence ratings. Note: if you have more than 10 articles that you deem worthy, you can enter up to 15 into Appendix H. Using Appendix H, synthesize the 10 articles you selected. Using Appendix G2, enter all relevant information about the 10 articles you selected and synthesized. Note: This is a three-part Assignment. By Day 7 of Week 10, you must complete and submit Appendices B, G2, and H found in the Week 8 learning resources. THE ASSIGNMENT For this three-part Assignment, you will submit three items as follows:
Part 1: Submit your completed Appendix B, which demonstrates your fully developed practice question.
Part 2: Submit your completed Appendix H, which demonstrates your grading and synthesizing of the evidence you identified. Note: You will complete Appendix H before Appendix G2, despite being out of order alphabetically.
Part 3: Submit your completed Appendix G2, which lists the relevant information about the evidence you selected.
