Hospital Antimicrobial Stewardship in a Surgical Intensive Care Unit

Here's how you should approach completing this week’s assignment to begin critiquing an article:

1. First, review your assigned readings in Gray, Grove, & Sutherland (2017) in each module. This will introduce you to the critique skills you will need for this week.
2. Skim the entire instructor assigned a research article (ATTACHED) Then, re-read carefully the sample / data collection / data analysis / results / discussion sections of the article again.
3. Print the Research Article Appraisal, Part Two Assignment and find the best answer to each question based on your Gray, Grove, & Sutherland (2017) ch.18
4. Look up key terms from the question in your textbook. Some examples of these terms might be sample size, power analysis, or t-test. You can also look in Chapter 18 (Gray et al) for an example of a critical appraisal of a quantitative research article.
