These three databases would be more proficient in tackling the research question in hand. If initial research done on the identified problem is not enough the research can be expanded by using other methodologies. In order to achieve this, the research can be expanded to using observation, questioners to patients, students and nurses or consulting professionals on the topic as a means to achieve the desired results. To refine the general search to reduce the number of results from the search one can employ the use of EBSCO subject heading. This would offer one with specific databases that deal with the subject being discussed. Through the EBSCO subject headings one will be able to limit and refine the study to 10. In order to reduce the research results, further limiters such as publication year limiter, journal limiter and peer review limiter will be set. This will help reduce the information received and most importantly stick to the needed information. Literature Review Worksheet Name: Date: Instructor’s Name: Purpose: To find evidence to support an intervention that will change the outcomes.
