This assignment asks students to conduct a literature review on their selected practice problem from the previous discussion. Students are instructed to use a Literature Review Matrix template to identify gaps in the literature and formulate a research question. They must then locate 10 related articles using the Walden Library, including at least one systematic review and primary sources. Students will submit the completed Matrix including their research question, search terms, and identified resources.

1. This Assignment expands upon the work you have been
conducting for this week’s Discussion. For this Assignment
(which you will start this week, and submit by the end of Week
7), you will conduct a search for literature on your selected
practice problem. A Literature Review Matrix template will be
used to identify gaps in the literature.
To prepare:
Consider the practice problem you addressed in this week’s
Discussion. (You may select a new issue if necessary, but it is
not recommended.)
Review the guidelines in the Literature Review Matrix, included
in the Learning Resources. Formulate a research question
around your issue as indicated in Part I. Then complete Part II
of the Matrix, identifying the resources you will use, search
terms and criteria, and Boolean search strings.
Using the Walden Library, locate 10 articles related to your
research question. At least one article must be a systematic
review. All of the articles should be primary sources. NOTE: If
appropriate, you may use the four articles you reviewed for this
week’s Discussion.
Here is the discussion from your support post:
How does the literature strengthen or weaken the merit of your
selected theoretical framework and practice problem?

2. The practice issue put forward by the author is that of
minimizing the rate of recidivism in patients with chronic
respiratory diseases. This is a health condition which needs
extensive comprehension. The academic framework
recommended in the previous week’s discussion to give a
discourse to this issue, was the Quality Health Outcomes Model
(QHOM). This hypothesis advocates that there are links or
connection between the client’s characteristics, the healthcare
interventions, context or system, and the patient’s outcomes.
These connections are explained as possessing a bidirectional
impact, inferring that the involvements mutually influence and
are influenced by the characteristics of the client and the
context so as to fashion preferred results. The intervention
being conversed in all four selected articles and from previous
week’s discussion, is offering regular and steady nursing
observation or examination to discover variations in victim
status, and avert worsening.
The article by Kelly and Vincent (2011) and Fasolino and
Verdin (2015) back-up the practice problem and the theoretical
framework mutually. The two articles mark out a direct link
between regular and steady nursing observation and a reduction
or minimization in failure to save endeavors and victim
worsening in other terms victims outcomes, as well as a
relationship between frequent/consistent nursing examination or
observation and the discovery of symptoms of patient
weakening, basically the characteristics of patient. The two
articles support the recognition of pitiable nursing examination
or observation as an issue in the nursing practice, by explaining
the rising level of failure to save endeavors and decline in
patient health status when nursing examination was not
satisfactory. Moreover, Watkins et.al, (2016), gives credit to the
quality health outcomes model by determining a direct link
between steady nursing surveillance basically intervention and
enhanced safety of patient and aversion of lacking to save

3. situations primarily the patient outcomes, along with a link
between amplified nursing examination or observation and
patient significant symptoms in other terms the patient
characteristics. The article also backs up the conceptualization
of minimal nursing monitoring as a practice issue by conferring
the severe medical ailments that were determined via the
improved monitoring of patient versus ailments that would
contribute to patient health condition worsening to incorporate
the necessity to take a life saving action.
What levels of evidence are most prevalent in these articles?
The articles by Kelly and Vincent (2011) and Fasolino and
Verdin (2015), are mutually logical or methodical reviews and
hence are mutually considered to be level one, levels of
substantiation. The article by Watkins’ (2016) is a potential
experimental study, as it is the product of an exclusive
qualitative examination. The common level of substantiation is
the level 1 evidence, which was the outcome of the two initial
articles, which were all logical.
Why do you think that level of evidence is most prevalent?
I consider level 1 is the most common because of the kind of
study that was applied. In the contemporary world, internet
access has established a prospect to acquire info and data from a
range of databases. This has assisted the investigator to obtain
more info to back up their hypothesis. Therefore, the methodical
review has emerged a prominent research technique to retrieve a
large percentage of pertinent info.
