Literature Review PIO Question: What are the best methods for decreasing catheter associated urinary tract infections in hospitalized adult patients? • The paper must use APA format and should be between 15-20 pages (this does not include title page, references or appendices). Papers that do not meet the minimum page requirement suggest a lack of breadth and depth which will affect the overall grade. • The paper should be organized with the following headings: Introduction, Literature Review, Summary • Use the following criteria to assist in your paper: Introduction (15%) • Introduce your topic (PIO Question).

You may also use meta analyses, integrative/systematic reviews, etc., however it is critical you use reports of primary research. You may use subheadings to differentiate the intent of the studies you reviewed. For example if you were focusing on depression in young adults, you may have studies that focused on depression and suicide; depression and substance abuse, etc.. In the Literature review section you also want to provide a succinct analysis of the studies and address those areas where you identified limitations related to. research design, sample and setting, data collection process, research instruments, data analysis, findings. o The flow of the literature should be logical and support your question and problem statement. o Remember, in this section you are reporting on the literature and findings. o Organize your literature on the Literature Review table (Course Documents) and include your table as an appendix to the paper (do not insert into the body of the paper).

Written Organization/APA format (20%) • This is a formal scholarly paper. APA format is to be followed (use of headings, intext citations, appendices, etc.) • Written flow should be organization • Quotations should be limited to essential content only; narrative should be paraphrased, not quoted. Check your Turnitin percentage and areas of similarity—the narrative (excluding reference, title pages) should not be over 25%-30% . • Literature Review table- should be included as an appendix (per APA) . I have attached the literature review table. I started it. It needs to be completed and included as an appendix. I also attached a few references that I have started with. THANK YOU SO MUCH
