PART I
Locate a minimum of 15 peer-reviewed articles that describe the problem (DIABETIC FOOT ULCERS) or issue and that support the proposed solution. 8 of the 15 articles must be research-based (e.g., a study which is qualitative, quantitative, descriptive, or longitudinal).
Preview each of the 15 articles chosen by reading the article abstracts and summaries.
Hint: Refer to “Topic 1 Checklist”
Perform a rapid appraisal of each article by answering the following questions (one to two sentences are sufficient to answer each question):
1. How does each article describe the nature of the problem, issue, or deficit you have identified?
2. Does each article provide statistical information to demonstrate the gravity of the issue, problem, or deficit?
3. What are example(s) of morbidity, mortality, and rate of incidence or rate of occurrence in the general population?
4. Does each article support your proposed change?
PART II
Write a paper in which you analyze and appraise each of the (15) articles. Pay particular attention to evidence that supports the problem, issue, or deficit, and your proposed solution.
Refer to “Sample Format for Review of Literature,” and “Topic 2 Checklist.”
USE 6TH EDITION APA FORMAT. Upload PART I AND PART II separately. Use as many references as you need.
