ORDER NOW FOR AN ORIGINAL PAPER ASSIGNMENT : Assignment: Symptoms of Urinary Tract Infection

Question Description
Locate a minimum of 4 research articles related to the topic and PICOT questions that you developed in Week 2. The articles must be current (2002 to the present), and two articles must be quantitative, and two articles must be qualitative. These articles should be somewhat related to your PICOT questions.

Articles used for one assignment can’t be used for the other assignments (students should find new research articles for each assignment).

The selected articles should be original research articles. Review articles, meta-analysis, meta-synthesis, and systemic review should not be used.

Mixed-methods studies should not be used.

You should:

Write a summary (2–3 pages)

Describe the similarities and differences among the four research articles
Use current APA format to style your paper and to cite your sources.

Submit the 4 completed charts along with your summary.

Please attach the 4 research articles together with the summaries.

PICOT QUESTIONS THAT ARTICLE SHOULD BE RELATED TO:

1)For patients who are 65 or older, how does having indwelling catheter compared to no indwelling catheter influence the risk for developing urinary tract infection in a month?

2)In patients who are 65 or older with symptoms of UTI, does starting an antibiotic without proper diagnosis compared to using alternative modalities more effective treatment or relief in managing the symptoms until appropriate diagnosis are in place?

3)Does treating asymptomatic symptoms of urinary tract infection with antibiotics in patients who are 65 and older reduces the urinary infection and complication after initiation of the medication?

You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.

Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.

Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.

The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.
