Module 6: Assignment — Construction of Clinical/Practice Question and Literature
Prompt:
The purpose of this assignment is to state your clinical/practice question and explore the literature pertaining to your clinical/practice problem as you described in your Module 3 Discussion Board . According to Moran et al. (2020) when conducting a literature review, the goal is to obtain a representative sample of the literature which describes the concepts related to the phenomenon of interest and the research results applicable to the clinical/practice question and identify what gaps need to be further researched. Your work for this paper may be used to build upon your scholarly project and publishable manuscript—thus it is important that you align your literature review with the topic you have selected (or are considering) for your PICOT question and DNP project.

CLIENT’S COMMENTS & REQUIREMENTS
1. A description of the clinical or practice problem you would like to address for your DNP project. State why this problem is an issue. State the practice question you wish to address in PICOT format (this should be the response to the problem defined above)
The clinical problem I am considering for the DNP project is depression among school-going adolescents. I’m giving you two examples to look at. Neither of these papers is perfect, and neither of them earned a perfect score of 100%. But every paper is very good. You can “see” what your paper might “look” like by looking at these examples. Please keep in mind that you must write your paper in APA style. APA is both a format and a way to cite and reference sources. Please also note that writing a graduate-level paper is worth 30 points on the grading rubric. If you are having trouble with your writing, you might want to make an appointment at the NKU Writing Center.
