and qualitative studies. The purpose of this assignment is to become familiar with published
research, research designs, and methodologies. For the assignment, you will

nursing and write a summary of each study. Each summary must be accurate, succinct, and
clear. These articles should be somewhat related to your PICOT questions.Ensure the
following questions are addressed in each summary:1. What type of research is it
(quantitative, qualitative, and design)?2. What was the research question(s) or
hypothesis?3. What is the sample, the sample size, and sample attributes?4. What was the
setting of the study?5. What were the researcher’s findings? (Identify one.)You must submit
the research study articles along with your summaries.Each summary should be between

PAPERSYou must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-
checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and
you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words
and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then
aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to
have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are
preferable to uncorrected mistakes.Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per
inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing
are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages
than to try to compress it into fewer pages.Likewise, large type, large margins, large
indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning
(space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of
a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.The paper must
be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of
each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark
ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.
