Requirements

Review any previous literature review you have completed related to your CGE project topic. If you have not previously completed a scholarly literature review on your topic (i.e., your topic may have changed), then you will create a new literature review with this assignment. Complete a database search on your project and compile the results, adding any new or relevant scholarly sources to your review. Focus on the most relevant articles or studies that address your problem or concern or discuss resolutions to the problem. Include any studies that do not support your projected resolution or take a different approach. In addition, search for systematic reviews about the problem or concern. Write a review of the literature or update your existing literature review using the following outline.

1. Comprehensive review of the current evidence-based literature from nursing and related disciplines as appropriate
2. Application of evidence-based literature to project
3. Analysis of the literature: whether it supports your resolution; alternative solutions; how existing literature affected your proposal

Using this outline will ensure that you are in compliance with Chamberlain’s reuse/repurpose policy.  Be sure to reacquaint yourself with this policy or reach out to your instructor if you have any questions.
