PICOT/Evidence Table Assignment

The purpose of this assignment is twofold. First, the student will share their PICOT question and provide elaboration on its key components, as well as examine its feasibility as a future DNP Project. Additionally, this assignment provides the student an opportunity to critically appraise selected literary evidence, using a systematic template. This will serve as the foundation for building an evidence table to further develop their future DNP Project.
