This introductory paragraph should give a brief description of the topic and background information. YOU MUST CITE SOURCES for the information.
The next paragraph or two should explain how this is important to nursing. Imagine someone next to you asking "why?" and how you'd explain it to them. It is not enough to say "this is important to nursing." But, you can say that the topic of x is important to nursing because... (why is the outcome important? falls contribute to increased time in the acute care setting, increased costs, etc.; better patient satisfaction leads to increased reimbursement, etc.; decreased pain contributes to increased mobility, faster recovery, fewer pulmonary complications;) YOU MUST CITE SOURCES for the information you provide.
Then provide your PICOT questions.
Then include a short conclusion paragraph that SUMMARIZES the information for the reader. This should take up 2-3 pages (the whole paper, not the conclusion - the conclusion is one paragraph). If you have less than two pages, you might not have all of the information included.
USE APA FORMATTING - use the sample APA paper and your APA manual for guidance.
Be succinct, be scholarly, DO NOT USE FIRST PERSON (you should NOT say, "I chose this topic..." - no first person.
How many sources do you need? I would say that you need at least two
PICOT is an acronym used to help develop clinical research questions and guide you in your search for evidence:
P = Patient population
I = Intervention or issue of interest
C = Comparison of interventions or comparison of interests
O = Outcome
T = Time frame
