Evaluate the conclusion(s). Are they based on valid research and appropriately supported by others? Are they relevant to the professional discipline?

you need to evaluate a medical article, use ALL of these questions to guide your evaluation:

The student’s paper will need to include a title page, at least four pages of content, and a reference list (in APA format). The body of the paper needs to include the following:

·       Summary of the introduction including the research question (RQ) to be investigated.

·       Identification of research methods, participants, and statistical tests used to evaluate data. Did the methods seem appropriate for what was being studied and measured?

·       Examination of the results section. What was significant or non-significant?

·       Critique the discussion. Do the results support the hypothesis or answer the research question? Does the author disclose potential bias and limitations of the study? Are explanations acceptable?

·       Evaluate the conclusion(s). Are they based on valid research and appropriately supported by others? Are they relevant to the professional discipline?

·       How can this research be applied to your future clinical practice in respiratory care?
