• The clinical question should be written using the intervention format: In elderly patients (P), how does the implementation of a fall risk protocol (I) compared to none (C), affect the number of falls (O) within hospitalization (T)? 
• Use your clinical question to create keywords and complete a literature search using the Galen library database. Start early in the week so that you can contact the Galen librarian for guidance on searching the databases as needed. The librarians are available online via live chat or by placing a support ticket.
• Find and save full text (PDF) of 3 research articles (primary or secondary research studies based on high levels of evidence) dated within the past 5 years. Do not use lower levels of evidence articles such as quality improvement project, scoping review, literature review or integrative review.
• Select articles that show your nursing intervention is effective in achieving your desired outcome stated in your clinical question. For example, if you plan to implement yoga as a nursing intervention to enhance weight loss, all 3 studies must find (reported under the results/findings section) that yoga is an effective weight-loss strategy. If you cannot find studies to support your intervention and outcome, consider the need to edit your intervention and outcome within the clinical question.  Then, repeat the literature search using the revised keywords.
• Use a total of 4 sources, including the 3 research articles and the assigned course textbook.
• Use 1 to 2 short, direct quotes and multiple paraphrases as supportive evidence throughout the paper with in-text citations and matching references formatted in APA style.
• Each short, direct quote should contain less than 20 words.
• Each paragraph should contain a minimum of 4 sentences and a maximum of 6 to 8 sentences.
