Our orders are delivered strictly on time without delay 
l identify a healthcare problem, develop an evidence-based practice (EBP)
question, and review selected research-based and non-research-based evidence to find
answers to that question.
Note that while you will be analyzing only one research-based and one non-research-based
article in this task, an actual evidence-based practice change would require the support of
many high-quality research studies.
B. Discuss the impact of a clinical practice problem on the patient or patients and the organization
it affects.
1. Identify each of the following PICO components of the clinical practice problem:
• P: patient, population, or problem
• I: intervention
• C: comparison
• O: outcome
2. Develop an evidence-based practice (EBP) question based on the clinical practice problem
discussed in part B and the PICO components identified in part B1.
Note: Refer to the “Appendix B: Question Development Tool” web link for information on the creation of an
EBP question.
C. Select a research-based article that answers your EBP question from part B2 to conduct an
evidence appraisal.
Note: The article you selectshould not be more than five years old.
1. Discuss the background or introduction (i.e., the purpose) of the research-based article.
2. Describe the research methodology used in the research-based article.
3. Identify the level of evidence for the research-based article using the Johns Hopkins Nursing
Evidence-Based Practice (JHNEBP) model.
