Problem: Literature Review
For your problem, you will write a literature review on any topic you chose earlier in the semester. A literature review is an overview of the previous research conducted on a topic. Its purpose is to inform readers of the significant knowledge and ideas established on a topic. In addition, a literature review compares, contrasts, and/or connects findings that were identified when reviewing the previous researchers' work.
The purpose of this problem is to hone your abilities to research a topic of study so you can learn to (i) identify and formulate an inquiry question that defines what you'd like to learn, (ii) apply your knowledge by reading the research on the topic, (iii) analyze information found in academic, peer-reviewed journal articles, and (iv) synthesize new knowledge into a literature review.
As you write, remember your audience. In this case, it is your professor. Your current professor is not a nursing subject expert, so provide explanations of acronyms or terminology. When in doubt, assume your reader does not know anything about the subject.
