1.     Choose a nursing intervention commonly used in nursing practice.  A suggestion might be to explore interventions listed in Nurse’s Pocket Guide in Nursing Central.
2.                Find and analyze scholarly, research-based articles that support or challenge the use of this intervention and identify a new evidence-based intervention to address the issue.
3.                 Based on this literature review, present a case for continuing or discontinuing this intervention in current nursing practice.  Arguments for and against each intervention should have sound rationale supported by the research literature.

Example: The issue of testing pH of gastric contents for confirmation of NG placement is well researched and the problems of auscultation for insufflation of air are well documented, yet the practice continues, why?  Is the practice based on research, if not, why does it continue?  You will be doing research to determine what literature says SHOULD be done and if it’s not being done, analyze why it is not being done
