General Instructions

Advanced practice nurses must be equipped to critique scholarly literature and discern its value for application to practice. Select one current clinical practice guideline (CPG) related to your PICOT question. If a relevant CPG does not exist, choose a CPG related to another topic. Appraise the CPG using the Rapid Critical Appraisal Questions to Ask of Evidence-Based Guidelines (Melnyk & Fineout-Overholt, 2023, Box 8.4). Summarize your appraisal of the CPG in your own words.
