The NURS 668 Week 2 method, step by step
Define the scope of the search
Fix the question and the search limits first, and record the databases and terms you use.
Search systematically
Use the library databases with a fixed set of terms and filters, and collect more than the minimum (At least 10 journal articles in full APA citation).
Organize by theme, not by article
Sort the sources into themes before writing. Each paragraph should discuss a theme across several studies.
Compare and evaluate
Within each theme, say where studies agree, where they differ, and which evidence is stronger.
Identify the gap
End with what the literature does not yet answer. In NURS 668, the gap is usually what justifies the next part of the assignment.
Format the references carefully
Apply current APA to every citation and reference; reviews are where reference errors cluster (1 to 2 pages).

A topic angle that works
This assignment is graded heavily for a short list, so treat it as an APA exercise and a search plan. Choose recent, peer-reviewed articles that cover the problem, effective education interventions and your audience, and check every element of each reference against the manual.
Model paragraph with notes
An original paragraph written by our desk to show the register that earns full rubric credit. It is study material: learn the moves, then write your own.
Each entry follows APA 7: author surnames and initials, year, article title in sentence case, journal name and volume in italics, issue in parentheses, page range and DOI as a link.1 Before submitting, check each DOI resolves and each journal title is spelled in full rather than abbreviated.2 Group the list by topic in your own notes (problem, interventions, audience) so the Week 4 literature review has a structure before you start writing.3
