MH week 2 assignment see attachment

While many different models for evidence-based practice (EBP) exist, a core methodology is shared within each. Central to EBP models is the review of scholarly sources to appraise the quality of evidence available regarding an identified practice issue or intervention. To guide the process, the development of a PICOT statement is often the first step. 

A PICOT statement includes a brief description of the problem and population impacted, intervention, comparison, outcome, and anticipated timeframe to better understand the issue. This step provides clarity and direction as the critique of evidence from scholarly literature is initiated. The PICOT statement will be used in future assignments in this course.

4. Use APA in-text citations and complete references to support your writing. 
5. Abide by Chamberlain University’s academic integrity policy. 

Include the following sections (detailed criteria listed below and in the grading rubric).

1. Practice Problem
   1. Using the practice problem identified in the Week 1 discussion, summarize your practice problem in 2-3 sentences.
   2. Explain why the issue/concern is important to nurse practitioner practice.
   3. Provide an in-text citation from one scholarly source to support your writing. 
2. PICOT Elements: Discuss each of the following PICOT elements in one or two sentences.
   1. P-Population:
      1. What is the nursing practice concern or problem and whom does it affect? Be specific and narrow down your population. The population should be client-focused.
   2. I–Intervention:
      1. What evidence-based solution for the problem would you like to apply?  
      2. Provide an in-text citation from one scholarly source to support your writing. 
   3. C–Comparison:
      1. What is another solution to the problem? This is typically the current practice, an alternative solution, or no intervention.
   4. O–Outcome:
      1. How will you know the intervention worked?
      2. How will you measure the outcome?
      3. The outcome must be measurable from a baseline.
   5. T–Timeframe:
