Describe the differences and similarities between research and evidence practice. Which comes first, research or evidence-based practice? Include practice examples with your posts.
This discussion post requires two steps:
Step 1: Submit your completed initial response, [MS Word document or equivalent] to the Assignment folder “Discussion Post Originality Check” for Turnitin similarity checking. Click on the ‘Assignments’ link in the course navigation bar to locate the assignment folder. You are required to achieve an acceptable similarity score before proceeding to step two. See the Course Resources module’s subfolder ‘Turnitin’ for policy and algorithm (acceptable score) details.
Step 2: Post your initial response by Wednesday at midnight. Respond to one student by Sunday at midnight. Both responses must be a minimum of 150 words, scholarly written, APA formatted, and referenced. A minimum of 2 references are required (other than your text). Refer to grading rubric for online discussion.
Note: your instructor may require following these steps in a future discussion topic at their discretion.

Please post your PICOT question from the Module 2 Discussion. What is the best research method to answer your question? Be sure to note that a “qualitative design” does not relate to quality (e.g., quality of life outcomes). It is a method that uses open-ended questions (rather than close-ended questions used in quantitative studies). The intent for both qualitative and quantitative methods it to improve quality care outcomes.
