This week, you will write a mini-systematic literature review. It is mini because you will only be reviewing two sources.
For this literature review assignment, we are going to give you a choice of three topics to choose from. Choose one for this assignment.

1. Myasthenia Gravis
2. Hodgkin’s Lymphoma
3. HIV/AIDS

Remember, for a systematic review, focus your analysis on the treatments, causes, diagnosis, and prognosis presented in the literature.
Next, conduct your research of scholarly articles. Use the WCU Online Library databases. You will need to choose two sources to include in this mini-literature review.  
For this review, be sure to:

• Select two relevant and appropriate scholarly articles that address the topic you chose.
• Present a thorough literature review of both articles by summarizing, synthesizing, and evaluating the materials.
• Demonstrate understanding of the content presented in the articles.
• Include a critical assessment of the sources. Do not simply include a summary of what you have read.
• Incorporate citations into your body paragraphs; incorporate the essential and most relevant supporting evidence eloquently and appropriately.
• Present your writing in a clear, organized manner.
• Provide a strong introduction and conclusion, including further questions for research.
• Use proper APA format with proper citations. Review APA Citations Here


Your literature review should be 1–2 pages in length. Remember, you will need to use APA formatting in your literature review and include a title page and a reference page. 

Evidence-based practice proposal topic for this capstone project is Drug Induced Mental Disorders. Consider the clinical environment in which you are currently working or have recently worked. The capstone project topic can be a clinical practice problem, an organizational issue, a quality improvement suggestion, a leadership initiative, or an educational need appropriate to your area of interest as well as your practice immersion (practicum) setting. Examples of the integration of community health, leadership, and an EBP can be found on the “Educational and Community-Based Programs” page of the Healthy People 2020 website.

Write a 700-word description of your proposed capstone project topic. Make sure to include the following:

1. The problem, issue, suggestion, initiative, or educational need that will be the focus of the project

2. The setting or context in which the problem, issue, suggestion, initiative, or educational need can be observed.

3. A description providing a high level of detail regarding the problem, issue, suggestion, initiative, or educational need.

4. Impact of the problem, issue, suggestion, initiative, or educational need on the work environment, the quality of care provided by staff, and patient outcomes.

5. Significance of the problem, issue, suggestion, initiative, or educational need and its implications to nursing.

6. A proposed solution to the identified project topic

You are required to retrieve and assess a minimum of 8 peer-reviewed articles for this project. 

Prepare this project topic “Drug Induced Mental Disorder” according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide; and abstract or thesis is required.

 An understanding of the factors surrounding women’s and men’s health, infections, and hematologic disorders can be critically important to disease diagnosis and treatment in these areas. This importance is magnified by the fact that some diseases and disorders manifest differently based on the sex of the patient. 

Effective disease analysis often requires an understanding that goes beyond the human systems involved. The impact of patient characteristics, as well as racial and ethnic variables, can also have an important impact..

Case Study Analysis Assignment

42-year-old man presents to ED with 2-day history of dysuria, low back pain, inability to fully empty his bladder, severe perineal pain along with fevers and chills. He says the pain is worse when he stands up and is somewhat relieved when he lies down. Vital signs T 104.0 F, pulse 138, respirations 24. PaO2 96% on room air. Digital rectal exam (DRE) reveals the prostate to be enlarged, extremely tender, swollen, and warm to touch.

An understanding of the symptoms of alterations in systems based on these characteristics is a critical step in diagnosis and treatment of many diseases. For APRNs, this understanding can also help educate patients and guide them through their treatment plans.

In this Assignment, you examine a case study and analyze the symptoms presented. You identify the elements that may be factors in the diagnosis, and you explain the implications to patient health. 

To prepare:

Assignment (2- to 3-page case study analysis)
