Discuss the quality of the ‘best evidence identified’ making sure to describe what criteria were used to determine the quality of the evidence (make sure you reference the critical appraisal tool you used, i.e. CASP tools, AGREE II tool); 4. Describe how and how well the best evidence you identified answers your researchable nursing issue; and 5. Would you mobilize the best evidence you identified into practice? Discuss the rationale for your decision. Support your rationale with the literature.
