Target score for the Assignment
First class score with 80% + mark is the targeted score. This mark is not to be compromised and as such maximum resource is expected to be expended. Please see the attached marking grade and other relevant papers.
Search Strategy (Describing the search):
Online search can be undertaken using the following databases; Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), Medline, Internurse, the British Nursing Index as well as Google Scholar.
The search results
A good way to capture the search results is by using the PRISMA flow chart. You can add this as an appendix. You can look at the PRISMA flow chart used in a recently published paper. Bardi J, Moorley CR (2016) Improving the physical health assessment of people with serious mental illness. Primary Health Care. 26,10, 28-33. http://journals.rcni.com/doi/
You would need to choose your critiquing tool and say why you chose it. Examples are CASP, JBI (Joanna Briggs Institute) Cochrane, Holland & Rees Framework etc.
