Why did you choose the topic and how does it relate to the patient population on your assigned clinical unit?
Step 2. Formulate a well-built question: Include why you chose this problem or patient. Use the acronym PICO to formulate the question. For example: Is this use of heparin in maintaining patency of an intermittent intravenous infusion better than saline.
P=Identify the Patient or Problem (occlusion of intermittent IV infusion)
I=Intervention or the issue of interest (use of heparin)
C=Comparison Intervention or comparative group (use of saline)
O=Outcome (sustained patency of intermittent IV infusions)
Step 3 Select four journal articles from peer reviewed nursing journals that address your above topic. The articles should have been published within the last five years, relate to the topic and be at least 3 pages in length.

Include one or more sentences that (a) evaluate the authority or background of the author, (b) comment on the intended audience, (c) compare or contrast this work with another you have cited, and (d) explain how this work increases the body of nursing knowledge and promotes evidenced based practice. Each annotation should be approximately 150 words in length
* review the given websites for examples of annotations using APA format
Step 4: Apply the evidence to your patient or unit. How does the research and knowledge you learned from these readings compare to your setting, patient or problem?
