   Describe the following:

1. The nature of the environmental concern and the population affected.
2. Why this environmental concern is good or bad for society, a population or community?
3. How this environmental concern impacts the role of the nurse or nursing practice?

Using the “Literature Evaluation Table” assignment in Topic 1, and accompanying faculty feedback, you will synthesize the information created for your PICOT question into a literature review and evidence-based proposal.

Select a research article that uses a randomized controlled trial focusing on a clinical nursing problem of your choice. Use this research article to address the following questions:

1. Provide an APA reference of the article including a GCU permalink or working link used to access the article.
2. Using the “CASP Randomized Controlled Trial Checklist,” found in topic Resources, evaluate the study. Based on your findings, summarize the critical appraisal of the selected research article.
3. Do the benefits of the experimental intervention outweigh the harms and costs? Identify and discuss one other ethical consideration applicable to quantitative research studies such as this one.

Initial discussion question posts should be a minimum of 200 words and include at least two references cited using APA format. Responses to peers or faculty should be 100-150 words and include one reference. Refer to “RN-BSN Discussion Question Rubric” and “RN-BSN Participation Rubric,” located in Class Resources, to understand the expectations for initial discussion question posts and participation posts, respectively.

Begin creating an academic and professional network by identifying which academic and professional connections and resources with which you need to collaborate to succeed in your MSN program and as a practicing nurse.
