Instructions
Write a 2-page analysis of a scholarly research article, demonstrating your ability to locate credible, useful evidence related to a diagnosis of interest selected from the Sentinel U simulation on Patient Management & Delegation, V2. There are 10 patients, each with a different medical diagnosis. Select Day 1 and pick a patient with a diagnosis of interest to you. You will use this same diagnosis to complete all the assessments in this course.
Once you have chosen your diagnosis of interest from the Sentinel U simulation, complete the following:

o Type of study (quantitative or qualitative, the level on the pyramid of evidence, methodology).
o Credibility factors.
o Importance of content to selected diagnosis.
o The ability to apply the content in your current workplace or patient population.

• Take a screenshot of the abstract and paste it into a Word document (see the Example of Screenshot [PDF] document). You can refer to the instructions in the Taking Screenshots [PDF] document.
• Create a table or series of text boxes next to or below the screenshot and use that to label each criterion.
• Also take a screenshot of the patient and the diagnosis from Sentinel U simulation you used.
• Write up a summary of your findings on the second page. Note what information is important to your specified diagnosis. How credible is the article you've found and how useful is it related to your specified diagnosis and your ability to apply it?
• Include a link to your article.
• Include a reference to your article in APA format.
