Deliverable 2: Literature Review

This assignment requires the student to identify, retrieve, summarize, and synthesize relevant literature focused on the PICO clinical question/purpose. It is anticipated that the literature review findings will be used by the DNP Project Team to focus the DNP Project. The document should be organized with subheadings and tables that can be used to display and organize findings. There is NO standard approach to organizing a literature review.

There are multiple resources available on reserve in the Green Library focused on writing and preparing literature reviews.
