Discuss how an advanced practice nurse critically evaluates evidence/research through either a “quantitative methodology” – e.g. ANOVA, Pair t Test, or (Logistic/Multiple) Regession; OR a “qualitative methodology” – e.g. validity, reliability, and applicability in practice.

250 words must have in text citations and references must match them. 

Review the Rating System for the Hierarchy of Evidence for Intervention/Treatment Questions (see below link)

•  Review and become knowledgeable about the hierarchy of research logistics. The “lowest to highest” ranking order of the evidence/research. 

•  Select two different peer-reviewed nursing research articles. 

•  Identify and summarize the levels of evidence/research presented in selected articles (i.e. Student’s selected articles). 

•  Discuss how an advanced practice nurse critically evaluates evidence/research through either a “quantitative methodology” –  e.g. ANOVA, Pair t Test, or (Logistic/Multiple) Regession; OR a “qualitative methodology” –  e.g. validity, reliability, and applicability in practice.

Include each selected article’s reference information in the initial discussion post (i.e. APA format required).
