In this unit, the importance of finding quality evidence is covered. There are many sources of evidence, but some of it is “fake news.” Consider how you might discuss evidence in your workplace with your co-workers.

For this assignment, you will write a 1-2 page paper that addresses the following:

• If a peer shared an article with you and you found that it was not from a peer-reviewed source, what would your approach be?

• If the article was not current, what would your approach be? Why is a basic understanding of evidence-based research appraisal important to nursing?

• Discuss how you would summarize your understanding of how to appraise evidence for your co-workers. 

Your paper should be supported by a minimum of one scholarly resource, ideally within the last 5 years. Journals and websites must be cited appropriately. Citations and references must adhere to APA format.

Submit your completed paper to this assignment dropbox by Sunday at 11:59 pm CT.

Estimated time to complete: 2 hours
