What steps do you take to locate primary and peer-reviewed research articles when performing a literature search?
What resources are available to you to engage in a meaningful and successful literature search?
As you have explored throughout this course, Walden University provides vast resources for student support to ensure success in their academic program of study. When it comes to research and using Library resources, several support mechanisms are available to you as well.
Taking the first step to think about a research topic or area of interest and filtering that topic using a series of keywords and operations will be a fundamental component for performing a literature search in Walden Librarys databases. While the ultimate goal is to produce a set or results that match your search criteria, you must keep in mind that that the quality of the research articles obtained will likely vary. Thus, you must critically examine and analyze the aims of the research produced and how it aligns, confirms, or negates your topic or area of research. As you develop proficiency in this area, you will discover that you can extract content themes and frameworks to enhance future research and the need to identify additional research support.
For this Assignment, consult the Walden Library webinars and resources provided. These resources serve as a general good first step for performing literature searches and engaging with the databases of research available to you. Think about a research topic or area of interest to focus on for this Assignment. Then, search the Walden Library to locate and retrieve peer-reviewed research articles that pertain to your topic or area of interest.
6-paragraph assignment in which you do the following:
a 1-pararaph introduction of how you conducted your literature search and the databases consulted in your search in relation to your practice area or area of interest. Be specific and provide examples.
a 1-paragraph summary of each of the articles you have selected (a total of 3 paragraphs).
1 paragraph that synthesizes the three articles using a scholarly voice.
a final paragraph in which you discuss the differences between summarizing and synthesizing research. Be specific and provide examples.

Case Study
A 74-year-old African American woman, Ms. Richardson, was brought to the hospital emergency room by the police. She is unkempt, dirty, and foul-smelling. She does not look at the interviewer and is apparently confused and unresponsive to most of his questions. Discuss a pharmacological treatment would you prescribe? Use the clinical guidelines to support the rationale for this treatment.Discuss non-pharmacological treatment would you prescribe? Use the clinical guidelines to support the rationale for this treatment.She knows her name and address, but not the day of the month. She is unable to describe the events that led to her admission.
The police reported that they were called by neighbors because Ms. Richardson had been wandering around the neighborhood and not taking care of herself. The medical center mobile crisis unit went to her house twice but could not get in and presumed she was not home. Finally, the police came and broke into the apartment, where they were met by a snarling German shepherd. They shot the dog with a tranquilizing gun and then found Ms. Richardson hiding in the corner, wearing nothing but a bra. The apartment was filthy, the floor littered with dog feces. The police found a gun, which they took into custody. The following day, while Ms. Richardson was awaiting transfer to a medical unit for treatment of her out-of-control diabetes, the psychiatric provider attempted to interview her. Her facial expression was still mostly unresponsive, and she still didnt know the month and couldnt say what hospital she was in. She reported that the neighbors had called the police because she was sick, and indeed she had felt sick and weak, with pains in her shoulder; in addition, she had not eaten for 3 days. She remembered that the police had shot her dog with a tranquilizer and said the dog was now in the shop and would be returned to her when she got home. She refused to give the name of a neighbor who was a friend, saying, hes got enough troubles of his own. She denied ever being in a psychiatric hospital or hearing voices but acknowledged that she had at one point seen a psychiatrist near downtown because she couldnt sleep. He had prescribed medication that was too strong, so she didnt take it. She didnt remember the name, so the interviewer asked if it was Thorazine. She said no, it was allal. Haldol?, ask the interviewer. She nodded.
The interviewer was convinced that was the drug, but other observers thought she might have said yes to anything that sounded remotely like it, such as Elavil. When asked about the gun, she denied, with some annoyance, that it was real and said it was a toy gun that had been brought to the house by her brother, who had died 8 years ago. She was still feeling weak and sick, complained of pain in her shoulder, and apparently had trouble swallowing. She did manage to smile as the team left her bedside.

#2 seperate assignment
After reading and listening to the lesson under topic five you are to read and then paste a hyperlink of the MVV statement and strategic plan from the organization where you are employed. This may require you to post a couple hyperlinks if these statements are on different pages of your organization’s website. Some organizations may not have all three. Paste what you can. If your company does not have a MVV statement and strategic plan or you are not employed, then use one from a healthcare organization that is close to where you live. If you work at GSU, use a health care organization in your area as an example. (Your link must be a direct link to each. We should not have to search through pages to find the information you want us to see.)
GUIDELINES
Hyperlinks must open by clicking on the link within your post. Hyperlinks that do not open will receive a grade of zero. (Once you submit your post be sure to test it.)
On a different day, open and read another student’s MVV & strategic plan hyperlink and give your comments on it. follow APA format, and be free of grammar, structure, punctuation, and spelling error.
You only need to respond to one student.
How to copy a hyperlink to the DB
Copy the link from the web address the information is found on.
Paste the information directly on BB by clicking on the Control button and the letter V at the same time.
Right click your mouse, scroll down and click on “link.” A new window will open.
Repaste the link on the first line of the new window that asks for the Link Path.
Click on upload and you are done. If the computer asks you to open it in a new window for your readers click yes.
GOOD JOB! ??
