use to document your search process and results. Below, you will find an example of how to complete the tables as you are doing each search
2. The notes section is to be completed in detail as each step of the search process is performed.
3. An optimal range of 10-15 scholarly articles is to be achieved for each database search. If this is not possible, a detailed explanation is

to be included in the notes section. Donot stop too soon or you may miss some valuable article to help answer your clinical question. You want to be

able to identify ten scholarly peer reviewed articles that would help answer or provide insight to your clinical research question so you can

summarize them in an annotated bibliography written in APA 6thed format. The annotated bibliography will be a separate Word document in APA 6thed

format.
