Clinical Requirement:

After reviewing the materials you created to research a specific diagnosis in the first two assessments, apply the PICO(T) process to develop a research question and research it. Your initial goal is to define the population, intervention, comparison, and outcome. In some cases, a time frame is relevant and you should include that as well, when writing a question you can research related to your issue of interest. After you define your question, research it, and organize your initial findings, select the two sources of evidence that seem the most relevant to your question and analyze them in more depth. Specifically, interpret each source's specific findings and best practices related to your chosen diagnosis, and explain how the evidence would help you plan and make decisions related to your question. If you need some structure to organize your initial thoughts and research, the PICO(T) Question and Library Search template (accessible from the Create PICO(T) Questions page) might be helpful. In your submission, make sure you address the following: Review      the PICO(T) process. Explain      your diagnosis from Assessment 1 in terms of outcomes, risks, and      complications. In your explanation, be sure to include the risks and      complications for vulnerable populations or those affected by healthcare      disparities and the impact of those disparities. Consider      your diagnosis from Assessment 1. Develop a research question using the      PICO(T) process to address an issue of your choosing related to your      diagnosis. Properly      format your PICO(T) question to guide your search of the literature. Describe      your search of the literature, noting search engines, key words, and      credibility factors. Locate      evidence that explores your intervention and comparison of your PICO(T)      question with an emphasis on your specific outcome (at least three      diagnosis-issue-specific sources of evidence (scholarly articles)). Explain      the content of each of your scholarly articles. Explain      the credibility and relevance of each of the articles you chose to your      diagnosis issue. Analyze      the evidence. Determine the answer to your PICO(T) question based on your      analysis of the evidence. Length of submission: Create a 3–5-page submission focused on defining a      research question and interpreting evidence relevant to answering it. Number of references: Cite a minimum of four sources of scholarly or      professional evidence that support your findings and considerations.      Resources should be no more than 5 years old
